No worries Steve, I actually appreciate the critique. Yes oftentimes I do produce pictures a little underexposed. Its sort of a habit I've gotten into, maybe as a personal preference. I always try to make sure nothing is blown out on the histogram but it is also typically shifted lower. For example in the image below (not uploaded on SS) the histogram skews much more towards the shadows. It varies by image but I tend to prefer darker exposures for whatever reason. Maybe my monitor brightness is too high lol.
