Nice choice of subject Christine, lots of fine detail.
I have very limited skill in the digi darkroom and have both your images up side by side in Paint Shop Pro 7. I added 15 to brightnes and the same to contrast on the JPEG. I now cannot tell them apart. Viewing both at 200% I cannot see any difference in recorded detail.
Are you able to view the RAW and converted side by side to see if the conversion affected the brightness levels.
