Hello fellows :)

A few months after shooting those pics, finally i had some free time to take the jpgs from the raw files

I'd like to share them, and I'd be grateful if you could tell the weaknesses :)

edit: something that i forgot to mention is the equipment: Canon EOS 400D (Rebel XTi) + Sigma 17-70
Also, forgive me for my english. It's a little rusty...

I took 2 of your shots and pp them, not necessary my pp is perfect, but it enhanced something on your shots [and if it make some parts worse then try to play between the enhanced and the original]

They're all pretty dark on my monitor (which is pretty accurate). But I like the compositions, and the subjects are very nice.

Why are there 3 creases in the right hand third of the picture?

were I to guess, I would say they are from where it was stitched together. I as you really have no clue. I added nothing to them I just tinkered with the lighting adjustments, in a few layer's. I liked them both but were to dark. The HDR lightened better than I thought it would.

at first, thanks for your time commenting, and editing the photos :)

@Tareq: the shop, looks much better in your edit, but the photo of Agora, is too yellow

@F4Cyborg: I think yours view of Agora is better :) But, did you compress it too much, because i think it has many jpg artifacts?
@griptape: Are all photos too dark, or "just" #2, #3, #4 and #6? Either way, I'm waiting for a calibration tool, just to be sure in the future, because now I'm trying to check it with the histogram

to do what I did to it without having a raw file is going to bring up artifacts, that's a flaw with jpeg. I compressed it small enough to meet the restrictions here.

I never compress my files at all, i just work on RAW or TIFF and save as web at its maximum quality after resizing the dimensions sizes [1024 at the widest] and use one of many webhosting services and then posting here, all the photos coming sharp high quality, unless you post the compressed shots and then post separate links for the larger uncompressed sizes.

I had not a raw or a tiff, I had but what was on this page. When I work my files I have other opt's. when starting with jpeg's one is hobbled to start with.

I've seen the Agora site, it's difficult to get good angles on it without including the surrounding houses/ buildings.
Like the sunset pic on #2!
