I am having major monitor calibration problems, so I hope this looks the way I want it too, the top left and right edge should be black.. if they come in grey please let me know!! Once again, hate the black lipstick but not much I can do:)

Neat effect. Overall it looks to be overly weighted on the shadow side of things on my calibrated monitors.

Thank you Screamer, it is very shadowy so it is probably pretty close. This is the one thing I really hate about sharing photos digitally, you never know what the other person is seeing:(

Thank you CookieMonster! It was meant to be fairly dark.. Can you make out a tint of brown in her eyes?

Here you go, I retouched it for you on my calibrated monitors so you have a reference point.

I have to say that I like the original. I like the mood that it portrays. Hate to say this incendy, but the black lipstick goes with the photo. Although I still agree with you on one of your earlier post about the lipstick. And yes, I can see the brown tint in her eyes. Another good job.

Thank you Screamer! On my monitor it is way too bright, but I am not sure what it looks like on a properly calibrated monitor:) Thank you Art! The black lipstick does look much better hidden in shadows doesn't it=D.. I still wish it was gone as well though!

No problem. I just wanted to give you a reference point to work from. :)

#1 looks a bit dark. #2 looks terrific with a darker mood but not too much so. Excellent capture of a very cute child. The black lipstick does indeed go with the shot. And the brown eyes are terrific.

Incendy: the tops corners look dark but not complete black, i personally like the black lipstick it complement the images overall, IMO

That looks right on my monitor MCDasit! Thank you! I think I might break down and buy something to calibrate my monitors:)
