Curves/levels adjustment.
Unsharp mask.

To improve the shot itself (i.e., if you were taking it again) maybe get a different angle on it.

Ac, i like what you did, any links to tutorials on how to adjust levels and curves, ans well as using unsharp mask's?

I will write one out for you:

1. Open the Curves control. Fiddle with it until the picture looks good. As a start, try shifting the endpoints over so they start where the histogram shows your actual pixels start rather than leaving a bunch of your dynamic range empty. Also, try curving the curve into an S rather than a straight diagonal. Just play around with it and you should get the hang of it pretty quickly.
2. Open the Unsharp Mask control. Tell it to go ahead with the defaults. That's what I generally do.

kind of just a boring shot of something that isn't boring.

A slightly different take on it, to show the versatality of the levels tool in creating different "looks".
