I'm seeing some large areas of pure black in the boy's clothing and shoes. I would consider these to be important parts of the image, where detail should be preserved. If you adjusted the image by eye, try a new pass using "by the numbers", meaning relying on numeric sample values as well as curvemeister's shadow and highlight feature. Using a shadow of RGB(10,10,10) would help, as well as positioning the shadow point to break up areas of solid black.
