						|   | TheShaman brighten  your  screen  then  lol  ;)  seriously  though  I  calibrate  every  week  I  have  to  for  work,    &  its  fine  here,  Plus  its  midnight,  its  supposed  to  be  dark.

						|   | tadams I  like  the  concept.  It  is  somewhat  dark  for  me  on  a  Mac.  I  think  this  would  be  a  stronger  image  if  you  flipped  everything  horizontally,  except  the  top  third.

						|   | TheShaman No  way  i'm  brightening  this  anymore!  I  already  increased  the  brightness  20%  its  going  to  be  daylight  if  I  do  anymore.  You  guys  need  to  brighten  your  monitors  geesh  :  /  BTW  I'm  on  a  MAC  too.

						|   | TheShaman This  is  prob  the  reason  why  I  don't  like  doing  night  scenes,  everyones  monitors  are  different.  Some  will  say  this  is  too  dark,  others  will  say  too  light..  I  wish  we  had  a  middle  ground.  CALIBRATE  PEOPLE!

						|   | TheShaman and  tada  I  like  the  image  the  way  it  is.  I'd  have  to  do  a  ton  of  work  to  do  as  you  suggested.  Highlights,  shadows  on  my  mermaid..  EVERYTHING  would  have  to  be  reworked.

						|   | tadams For  me  it  isn't  the  overall  darkness,  it's  the  lack  of  details  in  the  darkest  areas  like  her  hair  and  clothing.  These  areas  are  pitch  black  yet  the  lighting  on    her  skin  would  suggest  otherewise.

						|   | TheShaman well  it  is  night  lets  not  forget...  shes  fair  skinned,  the  moon  is  bright  enough,  but  her  clothes  are  being  shadowed  by  her  artist  interpretation  i  suppose.    I  didn't  want  to  darken  her  skin  too  much.  and  her  'clothes'  were  dark  blue  to  begin  with.

						|   | supak0ma don't  mind  them,  but  look  and  go  on...  :)

						|   | TheShaman and  her  hair  is  also  black  lol  also  remember  this  is  the  second  brightness  I've  done  to  this  hard  to  recapture  what  youve  taken  out.  she  was  overall  darker  in  the  original..  Carl  you're  right,    I  liked  it  before  I  should  have  just  left  it.
