 Okay, I wasn't going to enter this challenge then I spotted the bike lock this morning and thought it might work okay in the black on black.... then I got the key idea as an afterthought and an indication of my sense of humour, so placed the keys in the lowest part of the image.... I will be interested to see if people actually pick up on it.... I think it's subtle enough to slip past a few folks.... don't expect to do that well, I think the shot is a little boring in terms of subject matter but hey, if it makes one person smile.....

Yes, very clever! I'm not sure the darkness adds to the photo in terms of mood or effect, but you certainly communicate your visual pun very effectively.

Thanks for a nice take on the theme and a little smile. Photo-wise, sharp keys are spot-on, as are the reflections on the coil - well done - 8

although this is well focused and decently well lit, the subject matter really does nothing for me. i suppose you're trying to play on "low key", but it still makes for a pretty boring photo. technically well done, except maybe for the liberal crop of the chain. 5.
