I dragged down the exposure slider and the shadow contrast slider up. on purpose. As displayed, it is underexposed, yes. I believe the exposure was pretty spot on, directly out of camera.
But there is no point arguing about this, it was just a feeling I had. As I read your comment you are generally positive. There is a thin line between low key, and underexposure, I may have crossed it. Where to draw that line is a matter of taste IMO. Incorrect or not, this look was what I was after. I was going for a dramatic look. I plead this right to "artistic" freedom ;-) If I decide to make a conversion, going back to original exposure may be the right thing to do.
