the second pic is fine, but the first is a little underlevelled instead. so dont worry, keep an eye out on the black parts (look at the black/white graphs closely, the peaks)... it feels overlevelled when it's getting pixelated on the lines and the grays are ruined.

about tips eh... do the blacks of course :D also the fonts.... normally Edited Mangas use fonts that are all caps, so your current font (auger right?) is alienating. try the basics, wildwords, animeace, and change fonts according to the japanese text, like if the japanese text is thin, or thick, dont settle on one font, it's boring to look at :amuse you can dload a lot of great comic fonts for free here http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=102

and btw set the font neatly, like its ugly to look when it's touching the balloon borders, leave a fair gap between the text and the balloon. same goes with it's position, the font should be in the middle of the balloon, its bad to look at empty spaces, like on your second pic, fourth panel... do magic with the text to set it in the middle

Nope, that's not over-leveled, that's under-leveled. Over-leveled is when you burn the grays, and the black is super black or the white is super white.

No idea why they're at an image smaller than 1200 (might be that it was too big for imageshack? In which case make sure the dpi is at 72 and your image is resized by height.) Anyways, it's poor to judge but it does look a little bit underleveled, but only a bit. I wouldn't even recommend a re-level to anyone who isn't experienced in editing.
