[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 95212, member: 1573"] Both are a little too dark for my preferences. According to the histogram for the building, you have some "clipping" in the shadows (if you turn it on in Lightroom, it'll flash blue where the clipping occures) You did a good job on the right side of the histogram . . . with no "blown out" highlights. You can still keep the gloomy feel of the building but use the fill light slider to add a little more light and cut back on the black slider to add more detail to the shadow. In the portrait, while her face is nicely exposed, her hair blends with the background. If it were my photo, I would add enough light (fill light slider or exposure slider) to separate her hair from the background . The histogram is an excellent tool/standard because everybody's monitor is different. Good for you for paying attention to it. [/QUOTE]
