Default For those with calibrated monitors

I turned my screen brightness way down last night to ease my eyes, but now I am editing photos and I'm not sure if I turned it back up enough/too much... Would someone with a calibrated monitor please take a look at this for me?
Is the brightness okay? And while I'm asking, how about color?
On my screen the grass looks pretty good. Maybe a little dreary in shadowy areas...
My main concern is if it is drastically too bright or too dark. If it is a touch off, it is probably my editing.

Morel

Thanks in advance!

Yeah plenty of detail but if anything a tiny tiny tiny bit dark.

Thanks guys.

Weird thing is, in Photoshop it looks a tad brighter, less gray and a bit more saturated...
What do you think of that?

Seems just a tad dark to me. Everything else seems fine though.

Looks about 1/3 to 2/3 under exposed for my tastes.

Looks good on my computer....
One thing I noticed is that you did not embed the color space in the exif....different browsers will display the image differently.

I created a post about this earlier
