Portrait photography

My friend got a D50 and came over yesterday so I could show him around the RAW workflow. I think I over did it in photoshop though.

The background blur looks weird and the whole image is underexposed.

Yeah I kind of wanted it to look trippy with the background and the big eyes. But I didn't realize how dark it was because it looks so different on this LCD. I need to calibrate it.
