"contrast" ? the photoshop command
"contrast" = what the OP lacks

Besides, levels sucks. Learn to use curves properly.

"This is a true masterpiece, Joel!

You not just were in the land of Cartier-Bresson, Erwitt, and Doisneau, - you overtook them all.

I am looking forward to the situation when I can sit with my grandson looking in a "coffee table book" and say:Granddad know this guy!

Fantastic image, Joel!"

When I read this is when I decided I will never, ever take the risk of displaying my photographs on Flickr. Ever.

In all fairness, that's just a crazy commenter. Flickr has lots of them. Doesn't take away from the fact that it's the best, easiest, most versatile online storage. Hell, it's a part of my workflow. Shoot, edit, upload edits to flickr directly from Lightroom. It makes me feel a little better about not having a real multiple-redundancy backup system.

Is that a joke? Because the pictures on Flickr that tend to get attention are 1) HDR cats 2) Sunsets with HDR cats 3) Narcissistic wimminz

That's what I mean. I don't have any of that crap, and my photos usually get minimal response. For whatever reason, 99% of the responses my photos get is realistic, I rarely get overenthusiastic crap.
Here's one that got a lot attention(for me, still less than 200 views).

at first i was gonna be all, nah uh. then i went to

http://www.flickr.com/explore/ and there was a big narcissistic self-portrait of a girl plastered all over the page.

bullshit! so i clicked on "february 2008"

http://flickr.com/explore/interesting/2008/02/

and the first two days are narcisstic wimmin potretz. so then i thought, "fluke! i'll check january!"

and .. 12 out of 31 days are pictures of women. some of them are..

well.. fuck. just look at this.

http://flickr.com/photos/mesh2/2202238252/

that is the oxford-quality visual definition of narcissism. it transcends words.

yes i know that... i use it daily.. but what are we talking here.. masking it off and using adjustments? or some other baloney.
>> fence !!POey2hdozCZ

sure. that's one way. you can also just manually paint it in on a new layer set to multiply (or overlay).

or you could set your brush to multiply. or overlay. or color.
