Nature on the edge

Maybe I'm being influenced by the yellow border (I'm amused to have seen a few in this challenge), but I can absolutely see this as a picture in NG. There's a story here ... probably quite a few of them.

Phenomenal capture!! If it weren't for the birds it would look like a museum diorama.

Love the sense of scale here. Really got me to think about the subject with this image!

Bloom Under The Moon

Lovely DOF and detail. Not sure I would have left the flower yellow .. it's such a bright and cheery color, and doesn't really "feel" low key to me when I can see so much of it.

Like the dark colors here but I find myself wanting something more in focus.

Sunflower

Comment:
Interesting choice of subject for this challenge. You managed to make it low key, which, of course, you had to for this challenge, but it makes me think there should be something else out there that the sunflower is just barely illuminating ... or something that hints at why a normally bright and cheery flower isn't. If that makes sense ;-)

Waiting for the Story

Feels like the storyteller worked late, and the child is already asleep. Only the toy remains, waiting.

Great use of that technique! Possibly still a bit bright for a low key image, but still nice.

A prodigy at such a young age! Very cute pose and nicely lit for this challenge.

Very moody in tone and pose. That catchlight adds pathos.
