Your images are muddy. You should check the calibration on your monitor.

That's good, but your images apear very low contrast and muddy on my monitor. If they don't look that way on yours perhaps we should have someone else comment on them, or if it is not a monitor problem you may want to rework them a bit in PS.

| I agree with the muddy comment.. The images are flat with no tonal range. They are 'dark' and look underexposed... |

Hi, I have to agree with the both of them, they do have muddy look. #1 is slightly brighter but not close to where it should be. |

OK, how are you converting these? The best way I have found is to use Hue/Saturation under Ajustments and desaturate each color channel individually. I never had much luck useing the Grayscale option.

| On PS try Image/Adjustment/ChanelMixer and hit monochrome. It gives you a lot of options if you change the red blue green mix. |

If this is a JPG of the original then you have underexposed the shot. It will be hard to bring this image back. Check your camera settings.

| Hey gaurawa, I made an attempt at the photo myself but don't know how to upload it without adding the photo to my portfolio and then copying the image number into the post. I'm sure there has to be another way, how do you do it? (makes me sound stupid i'm sure) thanks. |

Its uploaded in my portfolio in the "Workshop" folder which is not visible if you go to my profile, but the photo can still be linked in a forum like any other photo in your portfolio. |

| The hair definetly pops a little nicer on your gaurawa. looks good. I guess I had to sacrifice a little to get the grain level down. |
