It seems too dark to me, but some people had stated that my first one was two bright. And you can see both the eyes this time ;) What do you think?

The thumb looks dark, but the full pic looks very good to me. I dunno about the technicalities of "low key" but this is a nice portrait IMO.

Looks good. I like the way the hair's lost into the background; did you take one with black clothing? That could concentrate attention on the face even more.

Bear in mind that images will look different on different screens - Macs show them brighter than Windows PCs in general. It's this kind of photo where it really shows.

It seems very "grey" overall. Low key images still use light, just in a different way to only partially light the subject...the most popular being called "Rembrandt" style.

Thanks for your comments Goldberry, Silev, and Kpriest.

I like the simplicity of it. The darkness in the background and the overall look of it suggest the model wanted to hide something from watching eyes. :-)

It reminds me of a low-key image I did a while ago, one of my own faves:

nice work!
