A boy jumping

I too this photo deliberately very underexposed, thinking I could tweak it in pp for an interesting effect. I worked on the levels and curves for this but is it way overdone (I know this is a subjective question)?

It's great to experiment, as that's the only way you'll learn. But I do think this is overdone. The noise just overpowers everything, unfortunately.

Next time, I'd move to the other side of the bed, as that window light that's coming in behind him would have been great to use...

Thanks a lot Ryan - it's very very helpful to get honest feedback. I'll see if get another chance with something like this...
