Default The Green Machine (Its a cocoon?)

Alright guys, I just recently could afford a "good" camera (and by good i mean it isnt a P&S,...) and started taking pictures, but i feel they are all sorta, bleh.

I wanted help with this one. The original shot was very dark, i had the Fs at f/12 or something i guess? or maybe shutterspeed too fast, cause it came out WAY dark. It was also shot in JPEG (I think), so that made Post work hard... I brightened it up in post and made the cocoon sharper by a bit. (using Lightroom2 mostly).

Wanted to know if this looks alright, or if adding stronger vignettes, or possibly darkening the background further would make this a nicer shot.

Thanks in advance Ill be back tomorrow for any responses
