For me, this image would have a strong impact if you had the people in the background more in focus.

Very nice pictures and balance. Interesting progression in "size" of main objects in each pane left-to-right. Makes the lamp at left seem large. Very nice fireworks shot.

I feel you could have done with a bit more contrast in the right-hand image as it's a little bit dull compared to the other two. It tells a good story though.

Meets Challenge: 1 of 3. I'll give you one point here, because it's dark in the room... but low key, to me, means using highlights in an otherwise dark shot to describe your subject. Not fully, if dimly, lighting your subject in the dark.
Technical: 2 of 3. It's a decent crop and composition, but the soft focus on her face doesn't do it for me. She's a very pretty girl, I just wish I could see her, not the blur of her.
Emotion: 3 of 3. I'm sure you two had fun taking this shot. A good smile and great eyes and a very appropriate tilt of her head. Reminds me of when I was a kid.
Awe: 0 of 1.

The warmth of the color in this photo is matched only by her smile. This photos screams out 'comfort' to me. Great shot.
