Hi Geldermein
Here is my try and making that luminosity adjustment as best as my eye can make it (others may do it better).
Here is a link to the full res version and a lower res shown below: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kdwsd0xvidu44bl/briarrose-adj.jpg?dl=0

And though you did not request it, I added in this version some extra tonal adjustments that please my eye a bit better. So you can choose which you like better.

You're welcome geldermein. A fun little exercise to take out the extra lighting on top.
