Are my imagess looking too dark?

Hi,

Could you, please, have look through this Album and tell me if images are too dark? They look pretty much fine on my new monitor but at work they are dim. I'm just afraid if I print them in the lab they'll be too dark too

Hlop...they look fine to me on my work CRT monitor.

Disclaimer: my monitor has not been calibrated what so ever.

Thanks a lot guys!

So, you don't think that I should push brightness up for printing at all?

I calibrated my monitor (after a fashion anyhow!!) lastnight and your pix look fine on my tft monitor. If they print how they look, then I also would be very happy

Thanks guys! Strange but they seems to be dark on uncalibrated monitors :)
