Thank you for making me laugh RMP. Your take on the challenges here is always interesting and you are continuing to maintain your high standards here again. What about a suggestion as opposed to your low key approach you could try a high key alternative?
As a picture this is too dark with very little contrast and not color. For this challenge, the subject, what ever it is, is way to weak. If it weren't for that tiny spec of grey near the center, I would almost think this was just a picture of a black piece of paper. The challenge asks for the subject to be strong and stand out from the back ground. Perhaps a light or a lighted object of some sort might have really changed this photo's chances in the challenge.
I appreciate the monochromatic theme and the mystery of the original subject. But the digital artifacts / pixelation distract me just a bit and cause me to think the picture is still loading.
