Opinions wanted on this photo

I use a canon SD750. For this picture, I used digital macro of course with -2/3 exposure. Does this make the gold look unnatural or too rich?

Edited to add photo at +/- 0 exposure.

I adjusted the white balance but the image is still too dark.

I think your second picture shows the detail better, the overexposed picture looks to me like it cost you details on the panda.
