As you might suspect, this is a self portrait. I actually did quite a bit of processing for this one too.

I don't see the intensity I'm afraid

A little blurred and arguably not really low key but it certainly suits the title the picture was given.

Nice exposure for a portrait. It has the normal range of tones one would expect to see. In a low key portrait the shadows would be more pronounced, deeper, moodier, with the highlights creating the form of the face. Sorta just the opposite of this.

I think this feels a little too bright for "low key" Taking it down a little would work better...

Not too bad a portrait but not that low-key, very heavy on mid-tones. Also, DOF seem TOO small for me, with one eye sharply in focus but the other a bit off.
