Abstract Glass

Comment:
Certainly low key, and the glass is placed nicely in the frame for interest. I don't find the low key doing anything to this glass, though. I don't find the mood or emotional content assisted. I like how just enough light is used to define the glass as a glass.

The low key lighting here heightens the exotic feel of this doll. The direction the light comes from is very nice and helps to define the doll into three dimensions. Very effective composition. Some may claim that it's not dark enough, but I find it low key and engaging.

"A Helping Hand..."

Wonderful composition with lots of void for the hand to help. The low key lighting adds a sense of danger. The hand could even be darker and perhaps heighten the danger further. Currently, it is brightness reaching into darkness, and that works, too.

I l ike the unique idea of this still life, and find your arrangement very satisfying. The low key adds a feeling of sad nostalgia to me, as if these skills and tools and way of life are fading into the darkness of memory and history.

I enjoy the pose, the grain and the composition here. The low key lighting certainly brings out her dark side! Both literally and figuratively. Her expression heightens this notion.

You've made a graphic image out of this photo, and I don't mind that so much, though I'msure that some do mind. I do enjoy the lighting and especially the arrangement of the objects in the frame, added to excellent cropping. The low key lighting makes these every day objects seem mysterious in a technology sense, as these are the images that fill the frame.

I just really enjoy this photograph and how you've been able to negotiate light so that the flower is lit, but that the photo has an overall dark quality. I'm sure some have suggested that the photo may be too bright, and I agree, but only to a small extent. I still think this is low key and well done.

I really enjoy this photograph. The photo says what the title says, so I find the title very appropriate. The dark tones and directional lighting work well together here, as does your composition. 9

A black cat in a black night! I do like how the eyes shine in all of that darkness? I kind of wish that I could see just a tad more definition on the cat--not a lot, but enough to suggest a few body parts, like it is on the face. Nice work.

I like your composition here. The clock in the lower left seems to introduce the void behind it and combined with the low key and potentially ominous title, suggests that the void is filled with mysterious things. The shadow on the face of the clock distracts me just a tad, perhaps because of the harsh shadow? Nice work.
