yea it seems to be lacking some contrast... I could be wrong tho... more experenced people will tell you if I am wrong. Play aroun with it in levels and see what you get.
When I look at the picture it isn't the contrast or lack of that bothrs me right away the composition is off. It doesn't work for me. I think if you would have lowered the camera a little it would have had a better effect.
ha! don't be sorry! I appreciate the comments! I messed with the curves/levels a bit, and here's what I came up with... obviously, if you don't like the composition, this won't help.
The contrast and colour in the second is much improved. To my eyes, I wouldn't mind perhaps a third of a stop or half a stop of exposure - as it looks somewhat underexposed.
