I was using the 60d with the 50 1.4, I cropped it 1:1.

Now I got confused with my screen adjustments! I am using an HP laptop. I used to keep the screen at the brightest and when I used to post, I am told that the images lack details in the darks although I can see them on my screen. So I started editing my photos on the screen with half the brightness. I can see the details on my screen in most of the highlights and the comments are that it is 1 stop over exposed! I appriciate that this is happening but I wonder what shall I set my screen on?

Ankur, I can not see the attached picture! It says the attached immage have been removed.

Thank you all for your comments.

You've lost the eyes in this one and they're the most important part - they tell the story here.

Bite the bullet, open your wallet, and get a screen calibration colorimeter. There really is no substitute for a properly calibrated screen.

Hi Buckster, I already baught a used Spyder 3 pro.. but it seems that it made everything dark and yellow! What do u suggest since you know about screen calibration?

Below is an example, I made the edit to make it little warm on the calibrated screen and on other screens it is blue!

It takes a while to get used to looking at a calibrated screen, when your eyes are already used to looking at one that's not calibrated. The brain makes adjustments to compensate.

Unless your calibration puck and software are confirmed bad, you have to trust them and stick with it until your eyes and brain adjust to the new settings.

Then will get back to its settings and ill try again Thanks

eye sockets need to be lighter and everything else darker, imo
the snow and soot character of the underlying image makes it less pleasing, I think.

and a version with a flatter tone curve looks better, I think
