Is a histogram enough to determine high key? (I'm seriously asking - because it does show that there's not a lot of deep shadows...) |

| I actually lightened the shadow areas -- I was going for "as light as possible while retaining sufficient detail" ... I'll try to post an alternate edit later. |

| let us also remember that fulfilling the challenge is not enough to get a high score. |

I definitely considered yours high key -- it met the challenge just fine. But I'm afraid I didn't find it interesting. I want to be amazed or amused or confused or something with a photo. But there was no story here, or interaction. Even a more interesting POV would have helped get me intrigued. |

Totally agree.
If the challenge is about a potato it is not enough for me to mark with highest score even a perfect stock image of a potato.
Meeting the challenge is important but an image should have relevance in itself.

Heck, maybe we should amend Posthumous's challenge suggestion description to "Hang your photo of a potato in a gallery" :-) Then we could all justify our potatoes... |

I've actually used other views of this lion at least twice before -- as you say, it's not that interesting a sculpture, but it's a good "target" (in a decent location) for a high-key photo. I guess in this case my priority was working on the technique ... here's a higher-contrast version with darker darks and accompanying histogram.

Is potato.
Fun idea. Could become as epic as five grapes and a rubber ducky with two light sources. |
