Sometimes it has to be an Aussie Brew ' oh well never mind ....

A good attempt, but a couple of thoughts: It's not straight. You need to rotate it a small bit to the left. Also, you have dust on your black background. It distracts from the photo and yet is easily fixed in post. Also, it's not really low key. It's just a nicely exposed photo on a black background. Some more dramatic side lighting were parts of the subject falls into shadow would produce a more low key image.

Right idea -- but it looks more underexposed than low key.

The description of the challenge says mostly dark with a few highlights. While this is a fun shot, it's mostly light with a few dark elements. Fun find, but not low key, imo

Very beautiful! Did you smooth her face, or is it that smooth? Looks a little too perfect on the nose and cheek.

This is a marvelous photo -- but it doesn't fit low key, imo. It looks more under exposed than low key. But I do like it, just not in this challenge.

Doesn't fit low key, imo. It's not really mostly dark -- it's mostly mid greys and the white hat isn't really a highlight. sorry.

His Lover's Rose

This is more low key, imo than some of the other flowers. Mostly darks with a few highlights and things disappearing into the shadows.

Nicely lit. I'm curious as to where people will find this low key. The definitions I'm seeing is mostly dark with a few highlights. Perhaps if the greens and the stem disappeared more into the shadows?

I may be way off on this. I apologize if I am. But people were curious as to the reason for the votes.
