A bit dark. Some curves and levels would improve the shot unless my monitor needs adjusting.

The skin tones seem a little darker than what one normally expects, but overall I dont think the shot is too dark. It just has that very dark black and white tone look.

hmmm, you are right..I didn't see that...checked it in PS..looked lighter...perhaps the web made it look darker....but looks fine off line in PS. Maybe I'll fix it later..thanks.

I don't think its necessarily dark overall, but the whites don't seem very white. In that sense, I agree that it's a bit dark. Without some brightness to the whites giving it some pop, it leaves it a bit flat. Other than that, its a pretty good shot.

As suggested in other threads, it may help to convert to the sRGB profile before doing a save for web.

Are you using Photoshop or something else?
