The top image (darker) is the before. It was underexposed (not exposed enough - not enough light coming in to the camera) and then was lightened with textures for the bottom image.

I like the way you simplify things about photography and am sure I can learn a lot. have just compiled my first set of shots....do look through if you have the time.... I'll be glad to hear what you think.. (PS: will get a flickr account or some such soon ..cheers..) here's the link... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=151458&id=571441711&l=e84601c35a I see…so what you have done is taken an underexposed shot and made it even darker to sharpen it….the patch of light on the road for instance….:)

And, yes, the shot is underexposed, meaning that it's not exposed enough (too dark) :) @prameet: You’re right, the textures aren’t really being used for their texture, but rather their colour and just as a medium for lightening areas.
