Con-crit is fine, but seriously go back and read the notes before coming in and saying something I'm already aware of and commented on. There was also a dullness to the place - hence I won't be going back. I'd recommend learning to adjust with levels and curves over contrast, color balance and saturation. You can push or take away a lot more color with those as you can specifically adjust the midtones, highlights and shadows. | ||

I don't really get what's so horrible about them - they're only flowers. o.O Yes I do photoshop my photos - no one really doesn't. I know PH - but I've been told before my photos look a little dark or too contrasted so I've only been using auto-levels and not really going by sight. I still can't properly calibrate the contrast on my laptop because of the OS being Korean. (FML.) I'm going to play more with curves as you suggested in the future, but I am not an expert with photoshop so I really am just experimenting with it for now. I kind of wish people would stop critiquing my photos like I'm a professional photographer. I've noticed a lot of people posting photos recently (yourself included PH ^^) who don't get this same kind of harsh crit. I'm fine with people offering suggestions, but saying my photos are horrible when they're *Just for fun* is pretty unfair considering I'm not a pro- I'm semi-pro because I work for sites, but I'd still like to be able to take photos for fun without feeling like some people are going to make me feel like crap for playing about for once. | ||

You should really play with the Curves tool. It's very simple, you can't go wrong. Almost any picture will look better if you put the curve in an S shape (you put 2 dots and form an S shape). Moving the dots down will make the pic darker, moving them up will make the pic brighter. meh.. just play with it. I find the pics much more interesting when you add some playful contrasts in them. ![[image loading]](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz307/cajic/zeleno1.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz307/cajic/tunel1.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz307/cajic/macka1.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz307/cajic/kids.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz307/cajic/drvo1.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz307/cajic/cvijet1.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i838.photobucket.com/albums/zz307/cajic/02_edit.jpg) I chose to tweak the pics this way, you can do it in many other ways. | ||
