I'm looking for the grace.....

I really like the various textures here, made darkly nostalgic (bad, unavoidable memories) by the low key lighting. Brave of you to choose light subjects for this challenge!

Lacks a bit of atmosphere and detail. Appears to be a bit crude around the flower.You may get disqualification comments!

I had to look at this a while to try to distinguish the different textures/things in the shot. Overall, this shot seems to be pretty much all in the same tonal range, making it all kind of "run together". There are a few dark areas in there, but definitely not enough contrast in the shot to suit me. The flower (I think?!) is the only thing that stands out at all for me, and I do like that part of the shot. I would like to have seen this with a stronger oblique light source that maybe would have given it more depth.

A little bright for what I'd prefer of this challenge. The overall impression is grey, not black-with-gleams. 5.

i think this image is a little too busy/cluttered. when i think of low-key images, i think of simple images which convey shapes and forms using high-contrast lighting effects. this is just too cluttered up by different textures that it really doesn't have a central point of focus to draw me in. the subject doesn't connect with me as the viewer. also, the light is flat and the image really needs more contrast overall. 4.

the contrast are good. but the balance of the image seems off just a little. still a good shot based on rules 8
