Yes, your shot looks much better now, the exposure is much better and you're keeping control of the blacks better. Funnily enough i've had to change my settings to accomodate the underexposed look of the trench run by modifying the brightness and contrast and my exposure in that homestead shot is pretty much identical to yours now. You reduced your exposure, I increased mine and we met in the middle, a pretty good sign that we're both on the right track. :)

Here's a very short clip of the homestead with my new settings in case you're interested:
