Nice shot

I do see a few spots that might help it. First try using a longer focal length this would reduce the DOF and help single out one important bloom. Then try using a small piece of white cardboard to reflect so additional light into the important bloom. This will lighten it making it stand out and open up the dark shadow in the center of the bloom.

In post processing tone down the highlight just to the lower right of the bloom.
