Once again I was stumped for what to do. However, I think I may have found my low key's. What do you think?

And if I can't get to shoot anything else, I shall cut it fine and enter one of these.

    Both are lovely photos of a lovely young woman. For me, #2 works best for low key.

    If you have time, you might try another with the same lighting without her hand on her shoulder. On my moniter, at least, that hand is picking up too much light and drawing attention away from her face.

    Quality work, as usual!

    Could be my PP. Soft light usually picks up the highlights alot.
    I'll see what I can do about a re-shoot if my daughter is willing.

    Thanks FG.

    These are beautiful... Lovely girl and light.
    When you reshoot you might consider going without the headband. It was a little distracting as well. Love the processing.

    I thought exactly the same when I was PP-ing! Kids hey! lol
    I also felt the folds in the curtains distracted me a little too. I felt a black bg would have been better.

    Thanks Heather thumb.gif

    Of course there's always this one, but is it really high key? Hmmmmm ne_nau.gif

    I don't know if this one of the little girl is high key enough for the judges, but it sure is a beautiful photograph.

    I love all of the images. But the second one would get my vote. Lovely job. I don't think you need to change anything. It's unique and quite lovely.
