I'm in no position to criticise anyone's photos, but I thought here that if you brought up the shadows and maybe a little more saturation the pic would come alive - hope you don't mind JamesMike.
This was done very quickly in Preview on a Mac running Mavericks.
There are many others around here that would do it much better than me.
