dear dudes and dudettes,
I have no idea why this pic is dark on ur screens, it looks fine on mine.
I have a Packard Bell monitor - yes its old - but its brightess and contrast is excellent, much better than most of the new monitors , my friends have.
Oh well i dunno - but i do see the other pics well too.
Anyhoo - i used a high ISO (400) to get the grainy effect as a coolness factor - well i guess it wasnt appreciated by many.
Well what i thought of today was if i had turned off all the lights and got a atble lamp and focused it on my roomie - it would have tured out better - may be next time.

really like the idea here. maybe it is my screen, but the image is very dark and grainy.

Way too dark...neat concept though.

This is very dark...a little too dark to see lines and composition properly

nice idea, but the white cloth is distracting; also, pic seems too grainy

Playing a guitar is a lot more fun when there is someone else there to hear you! This photo is well done. The model's pose and the low key approach help convey his loneliness to the viewer. The noise helps too, although I think that is a bit overdone.

Photo seems grainy.

Nice composition. I think this is a very emotive image. The black & white choice was perfect, helps convey the mood nicely. I do think its a little too dark - a shade lighter would still capture the thought behind the photo but also allow more detail to be seen I think. Very nicely done. 7

I wish it was a bit brighter and less grainy.

Good choice of subject, but the image is too dark and flat.

I like the pose and subject, just a little too dark overall, I think.

nicely composed shot. I personally don't care for the grain and the narrow tonal range, but I think it is a decent image.

The idea is good, however it is a little dark. Is that the way you wanted it? It seems quite grainy too, probably from the higher ISO.
