Both images adjusted in RGB.  LAB was very similar but the RBG seemed slightly livelier.

Not bad - you've got the idea of where to move the highlight and shadow points to get a good image.

You are correct about RGB giving more lively colors.  Many people prefer the look of the brighter colors that you get with RGB.  Later in the class, it's worth coming back to these images, and see if you change your mind about which one you like.
