correct these shots by raised gamma then autobalance levels.

when shooting raw and then correcting the raw save the correction as a "tif" file. this become your new digital "negative". resaving the raw file as a jpg starts losing quality pretty fast in successive resaves.

when putting images on the web, crop extraneous image area which adds nothing to the shot to save file size, then resize the pix at the image size you want for presentation, today's surfer can handle about 120-150kb per image which gives a high quality shot. always "save for web" as this optimizes for 72 and give lowest file size/best image quality compromise.

although these shots are not lit properly too much light is just as bad as too little. the majority of shooters use too much light. use a gray card and expose on that and check camera histogram to see if you are blowing out highlights.

throw away the on camera flash, it is for shooting puppies, not glamour girls.
