I am sorry, but if you can explain to me how this is low-key I may mark you higher than a 3...

This does not meet the challenge to me.

A place of my childhood(now I live in New York City, a far cry from Sussex). I like the painterly aspect.

Comment by Claya:
This really doesn't qualify as low-key. It's a bit dim but not "mostly dark." There are certainly many more mid- and light-tones than dark-tones. Composition is a little boring as well.

Theres a lot of noise in this photo and its a little to dark. I also find the level is off and the photo leans to the right which is very distracting. It would be a nice picture tho and like the way you can see right thru the piramid. Good luck and all the best in 2005.

Comment by Brad:
This shot had a lot of potential but fell short in this unbelievable challenge and offer the following things that needed improvement: (and trust me, I know night shots aren't easy)
1)The horizon is off a little (needs CCW rotation)
2) Focus/clarity is on the soft side. Perhaps camera movement?
3) Brighness and / or contrast need to be increased.
4) Main subject is dead-center. A more interesting composition would have it slightly off to one side.
5) Noise level (or image compression) in the sky. Neat image may be of use here.

I sincerly hope these help. Still voted this a ((5))

I'm usually not a stickler for tilted horizons, but this one really stands out. A pretty composiiton to be sure but a little extra post processing could have helped to make the sky less noisy. Nice colors.

Nice shot, but the off horizon lets it down. If you rotated and changed the crop be even with respect to the lines of light on each side, this would be improved.
