I am using a new monitor to edit with .
Do you think this image is too bright ?
Thanks |

Not too bright, but maybe too much sharpening? There's a white halo especially around the head.
Great photo though : )

That's what I see.

I agree with bod, looks like just a bit too much sharpening... regarding brightness, my only concern is some clipping in the blue channel. The sky is "blown" in the blue channel, and the highlights on the front of the wings. So if these areas are not blown out in the original, you may want to re-edit and watch those areas.

Is this any better?
No usm and adjusted the curves

Great photo! I got a new monitor, too. I am desperately trying to calibrate it satisfactorily! I'm not seeing any problem with the blue at all. ?
First photo looks very natural. The second looks way too saturated and the highlights look more blown out.

This is way too dark unless it's supposed to be at night. The first one was fine as far as exposure.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just click on an icon when we sign in that would synchronize all our monitors to see exactly the same thing?
I'm dreaming again....must need more coffee! |

If you look below an entry on a challenge there is a calibration bar with a full range of shades from black to white. You should see divisions between each shade. Not as easy as what you have proposed, but it should work.

I am seeing all the blocks but overall everything was washed out looking. I've been trying to get the midtone contrast bumped a bit.
I can't remember. Is that calibration bar anywhere else besides on the voting page? |

I know what you are going through!!!
I installed a new MSI graphic card with dual monitors and the difference between the 2 is huge ,and I am totally lost now ! |

I agree that the first one is fantastic!! THe second one appears a little too dark on my monitor and mine is fairly bright. I also think it would be a wonderful print.

The gradient bar of shades is useful for calibrating the white and black points of a monitor, but gamma also needs to be set properly (for web viewing this is 2.2). An image edited on a monitor set for one gamma will appear brighter or darker on a monitor set to a different gamma (depending on direction of difference) -- even when both monitors are able to see all the squares in the scale.
The monitor calibration site should help in getting your system set up.

The first one is great, but oversharpened, as said. The second is much too dark - the bird doesn't stand out and the blue sky is more dominate than in the first.
Terrific shot. ...still trying to figure out how ya'll get these sharp flying bird pics with fairly shallow dof....??
