 Self Portrait ... really stuggled trying to find something to fit with low key even though I find I naturally tend to take low key shots. Finally decided to shoot myself, for the first time. Would have really liked to get my neck so it wasn't in the shot .. but alas I wasn't able to play around with the lighting that much as I didn't have the time! ahhh!

It's low-key with nice focus, but lacks much compositionally to make it "pop."

Classic low-key well done. I do find that shadow over the eye a bit distracting though.
