i think it is too dark, the whole lighting is poor - you could get fine pictures of her, if you punctuate with light/shadows on her muscles (or, if you prefer, her ass). and it would be fine to get a feeling of the hight . just try to add interestingness (mabye taking a pic of her over a park bench?)
the part i like most is her left hand sweeping over the panel

liber  Pro User  says:

@il_scampo: What Weinako was hinting at was most likely Color management issues.... The mac tends to handle colors a bit better than the pc. Even in the mac, firefox sucks at color management (rocks at everything else though).
On my screen it doesn't look too dark, but that may be subjective.

If you use profiles other than sRGB, it automatically appears bit darker, no matter the os, because browsers don't usually support them. I don't know about Safari, but IE and FF definitely suck.

"[snip] and buy a mac, if he really thinks this photo is too dark."

what i am hinting at is, that i can adjust the monitor bright or dark or whatever i want - indipendent of the used os or hw. if i adjust the monitor as dark as possible on a mac, the picture will appear dark too. and if i use a different os or hw then mac i can adjust the monitor this bright that i need sunglasses to look at your picture and i will get a sunburn if i stay to long in front of the display. there is no connection between the monitor settings and the used os.

i don't know why, but some mac users are tending to annex to their macs on any costs - no matter of the discussed subject. the same story you can find between linux/win users, between divers religions, between men and women, between you and me... and there is only one answer to this kind of comments -> *plonk*

if someone is commenting on a picture (or anything else), he _always_ will do this in a very subjective way. he can't evaluate the object through the eyes of a mac user if he isn't one of them. he can't do it through your or my eyes. if someone says 'the pic is too dark' it is too dark in his point of view and if someone else says the brightneness of the pic is perfect he will make this statement too in his own point of view. there is no final truth, even if there may be a statistical trend.

if 99 out of 100 people calls your pic well illumiated and one says it is too dark it may be caused of a bad calibrated monitor. or it may be caused of a unusal gusto. there are hundred thousand of possible reasons for the different meaning. and if someone comes along with a statement like Weinaiko's he will disqualify himself. it's just stupid and ignorant.

...just my point of vew...

Weinaiko™  Pro User  says:

my point of view : lj_scampo, despite the fact he obviously is a world class philosopher/opinion leader/photographer, should tone down on appreciations about people he doesn't know, based on comments that were not addressed to him.

I was just trying to point out, with a second degree comment that apparently was beyond the grasp of some people, the fact that altogether and by and large, mac computers offer better color management and rendering than most PCs : when I find myself on a PC and get to my flickr page, most of the time I tend to find all of my photos are too dark and lacking contrast, whereas they appear fine on my mac, and pretty close to the print version. I'm by no mean a mac fanatic : I use both a PC and a Mac, but for different tasks.

And for the record, what I find ignorant and stupid is making insulting and definitive judgements about people on the basis of a couple of lines on a flickr thread.

lj_scampo says:

thank you for your high meaning about me, but i never did write i'm a world class bla bla bla...

i did comment your "[snip] and buy a mac, if he really thinks this photo is too dark". not more and not less. this one post of you was stupid and ignorant. i never did say that you (as person) are stupid and ignorant.

it seems (reading your last comment) your thoughts and your words in the (first) comment are two different things - i can't smell what you were thinking when you wrote this words, i can only interpret the words itself. and they are spelling another story then the one you tell us with your post above.

if you didn't find the right words for your thoughts it isn't my fault, even if you try to let it look in this way...

Weinaiko™  Pro User  says:

I'm sorry too, liber, but I need to leave one last word to the kind attention of lj_scampo.

Forgive me about the "blablabla", but surely, you can imagine I was outstandingly impressed by the relevance of your views about comments being subjective... wow ! I've rarely been confronted to such high-key kinda thoughts...

And well, I actually DO feel untitled to leave ignorant, stupid, and whatever sort of comment I find suitable, especially in the context of DMU, without having to read annoying posts in return by self-righteous people who should be minding their own business rather than commenting comments left by people they know nothing about. In other words, thank you very much, but nobody asked you for an interpretation of my post.

I would have taken into consideration whatever complaint coming from liber (who is one of my contacts and with whom I have a relatively long history of mutually saving/deleting in DMU, that also involved numerous foolish comments, both ways), but I'm not taking shit from a patronising "stranger".

feel free to leave whatever type of comment you wish - and anyone else (me included) can feel free to comment whatever he want to comment to. this is an open thread and i will not ask anyone (and not wait to be asked) if i can comment or not to your or someone elses comments. (and as i can see you do neihter, and thats fine.)

you can be a friend of the pope if you want - the discussed comment was stupid and ignorant. thats the start and until now i don't see any reason why i should change my mind about this.
can't you find any other arguments then indignities?

btw: i'm on your contact list too (i don't know why you did add me, but well...) - so what?

xdrei; You're right, it is underexposed by one stop. And that's how I wanted it to be... I do know my camera - it's that thing with a long tube in one side and a hole in the otehr you can look through hanging from my neck, right?

But now that I tried it, actually the face looks a tad better with full exposure, so I'll upload an improved version, based on the feedback of two delete groups :-) Thank you guys, here it is:
