Don, your image does look somewhat flatter onscreen than Christines, however she has had to add saturation etc. When I put the shot into Photoshop it instantly looked better. On further inspection it appears the picture has an Adobe RGB 1998 embedded profile. This profile will look much flatter on a web browser as it only supports sRGB. Photoshop recognises the embedded profile and shows the image as you had it. However it is always a good thing to convert the profile/colour space to sRGB before posting on the web, this will preserve the colours better.
I have attached your pic converted to sRGB before posting, it has had no other adjustment made. Can you see any difference?
However I would say that to get the file below 200kb I had to apply more compression than I would normally want to do. Ialso do not believe it was in need of any further sharpening, a technique which IMHO is overused
