Hard lesson on this one...make sure your monitor is set right. when I made this image an added the border , the border was black. I realized when I started to judge I could not see anyone elses. OOPS! also Better understand "Low Key". Getting better all the time. Thanks All! |

i'm not sure about this as a low-key image. really it seems more like a poorly lit black and white. it's nearly entirely gray tones, making it very flat in tone. you need more contrast to really make the subject pop. also, you haven't got a catch light in her eyes, making her seem very dark in that area. 4. |

I think you got great lighting and detail in the darker areas, but it came out rather grainy throughout the photo. Some noise reduction can make this into a very good portrait |

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. |

To much light in the background. Maybe a black background with a little light on the face. Seems pretty grainy on her face to from lack of light. She is very pretty. Good luck. |

I love this shot. Don't know about black on black, but definitely low-key. Just enough contrast to get a feel for her face, but dark enough to still be kind of soft, moody, and mysterious. Definitely a lovely shot. |

This is a lovely black-and-white photograph (if grainy). It's not, however, low-key or particularly black-on-black, having wide expanses of, well, white in it, I'm afraid. In another challenge, and with the graininess fixed, quite probably an 8-9 from me. In this theme, 4. |

good composition with your model and the cropping, but the picture seems pretty grainy,. |

Pretty, but this seems mire like an underexposed portrait than a low-key one. Sorry. (3) |
