Underexposed, the description of the challenge really throws people off from what low key really is. If you decide to try this photograph again, try properly exposing the keys and maintain the blackest black for the rest.

for the piano key idea I would show all keys with view going to the "lowest" and "darkest", om the end of the piano.

Awesome picture and awesome connection to the challenge topic! I think I would like the shot more if I didn't see the wooden end but I understand it is the lowest key. :)
