52 week photo project

I agree, the first does seem dark...What I don't understand is, when I am working on them in Photoshop and/or Lightroom, they look fine. As soon as I upload them to flickr, they look much darker. Does anyone know why that would be?
I seem to also have that problem.
 
I use photobucket works great.
 
Week 5: Sleep

I am submitting 2 because I have 2 subjects who love this topic equally as much. :)

I just realized that I didn't post a romance photo and well this is a 52 week project that I intend to complete sor here is my take on romance.

CC is welcome.

I tried to remove those round light reflections but could not achieve it with the limited lighting I had (LED mag light - use what you have lol) I tried to reflect it off a white paper but it wouldn't give the mood or look I was going for.

@Demers18 - For your growth pic, it looks like the sky is really washed out, and the new building is a little washed out as well. Also, the pic leans to the right a little bit and the bottom right of the new building got clipped. Overall, I really like the image though.

Keep in mind, I am a noob, so take my comments in context :lol:

Looks like it was probably just a really cloudy day, and with these "challenge" type of photos you can't always pick and choose the best conditions. Since it was raw, you *might* be able to adjust the sky a bit in post, but frankly, I don't usually bother with a lot of post in my challenge photos, unless that's the point of the particular challenge.

I do agree that I *really* wish the bottom right edge of that new building hadn't gotten clipped off, and was straight. That angled, cropped-off building tends to lead my eye down and right out of the photo.

Still, I *love* the creativity of this photo as a "Growth" theme! Nicely done!

You are right about it being a cloudy day but now that I look at it again, I agree. I'll have to go back and play around in PP a little more and see what I can do.

As for the bottom right edge of the building, I tried to get the whole building in there but was limited as there was another building that would have entered the scene and I simply didn't want it there.

As for the straightness, i tried as hard as I could to only get both buildings in the shot to give the "growth" the way I saw it. I wondered if the straightness would come out as much but as you mentioned, with part of the building cut out it does seem jump out at you more.

I think I'll have to go back there and see if I can implement some of your suggestions.

Thank you cmartin and sm4him for the CC. Much appreciated
 
After your insight I decided to re-process the image and this is what I was able to come up with. Thank you for bringing it up, it helped me see things a little clearer and forced me to make the image better. (I'm a bit of a perfectionist ;) )
