Not enough info. To me low key doesn't mean a black picture with 30 pixels of info. Why not just add a 305 pixel border?

I don't think low key lighting enhanced the scene. The pier becomes all jumbled in the darkness.

I know there's a person behind there, but the curtain is in the way. I'd like it more if the face was between the two folds. I keep looking at whatever it is below the face. I don't know what it is. The lightness within the darkness keeps drawing my eyes down there.

Nice exposure for a portrait. It has the normal range of tones one would expect to see. In a low key portrait the shadows would be more pronounced, deeper, moodier, with the highlights creating the form of the face. Sorta just the opposite of this.

looks underexposed. I can't tell what the object is.

The composition is interesting and most of the pixels in the frame are black. Black pixels alone do not make a good low key picture. I'd call this more high contrast. Your pixels within the area of interest are mostly light. This does have the potential to be low key, but there needs to be more tonality in the shadowed areas and less bright white.

It is low key as far as darkness goes but is it interesting?

I would like this much better if I could understand what it was. Not enough information for me to connect to it.

I think if the light fell across the face this would be much better.
