I disagree completely with those who don't think that this meets the challenge. Unfortunately, as usual, if anyone tries something novel or innovative in one of the challenges, they get slammed.

This strikes me as a silverfoxx tribute/parody. It's fun. the low key works well for it.

Cropped too tight on the sides.

Great image but disturbing. It leaves the viewer wondering....

this is really awkward photo and I can't understand the meaning of it, and there isn't so much low key in this shot

Meets Challenge: 0 of 3. Sorry, this, to me, is definitely not low key. It's a poorly exposed black and pink photo. I want to see darkness, with a few key highlights giving your subject form.
Technical: 2 of 3. A pretty interesting composition. I actually like the lack of head and the dead flowers. I wish the jacket was a more properly exposed so I could see the details in it, and that the person's hands were in focus.
Emotion: 3 of 3. What a creepy picture, though. I love it!
Awe: 0 of 1.

This image really strikes a chord with me because it leaves me with so many questions. Great eye in this capture. Not sure how other voters are treating it, but I think its one of the best.

This one made me really stop, look and think. It's quite unusual and strangely intriguing. It's out of focus, quite artsy and grabs attention fully. I'm sure that many voters are going to stop and take a really good look at this one....either that, or click on past it :) One way or the other, this one has a lot of interest. Not sure how to categorize this one but, from me....just on the pure esthetics, deep meaning and artsy feel to it...it's getting a 9 from me! (I'm not giving many of those out in this challenge! :)) By the way, I'm sensing another type of award coming up for this one! Good going!
