Challenge: Low Key (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Location: See No Sun Studios

Aperture: 5.6

 Low Key was my third challenge and it was somewhat confusing.

12th Place yet nine voters felt this image was worthy of a 1. Only 5 images in the twelve that finished above mine had votes of 1 (the most was 2 votes).

On the other hand 116 voters out of 221 felt it was worthy of a 7 or higher.

Thanks to all those that voted on the artistic and technical merits of the image. I do appreciate the constructive comments.

The upside is I get to sleep with this model every night and she always gives me a blue ribbon!

If only shoot from waist and down, it would be a better picture. The knee is such a great piece

Looking back at some low key entries and this one really stuck out....for obvious reasons. Excellent magagement of light, and the red really draws the viewer in. but mostly.......you get to be with her every night? some guys get all the luck ;-)

The 9 1's were from the anti-nudity wannabe thought police.
You'll see that.
Great shot.

Great photo. The lighting is fantastic! Don't be too put off by the 1's you received. It's just the web site conservatives having their say. Really well done and I hope you keep entering!

 03/24/2006 02:41:24 PM
This is one of my two 10s in the challenge. Think the lighting and composure is brilliant. Vey well done, predict a top finish.

This to me is a real low key image doing what low key images are supposed to do; highlighting lines, cureves, texture and tone in the image. Only slight criticism is I'd liked to have seen a little more of the models face. Good job!

Low key, sexy photo, with viewer drawn to the torso and red panties. Good lighting. There are many poses and angles that can be done this way.

This is by far the best entry by a mile. Exquisitely done. Perfect for the challenge. Enough light to showcase her but not too much. I looooooove it. 10

I was about to leave a comment that said "This is exquisite." Then I read your title. Apparently, you already knew that.

Well done, excellent lighting, well framed, beautiful model and certainly low key. It's only the third image I've looked at, and I don't hand out 10s easily, but you got one.

very niely done. possibly top 10 finish, maybe even top 3.. fingers crossed!! (9)

I like the composition, and I think low key has been properly used to emphasize the model's shape. But there's something about her hair that puts me off the sensual image - it looks a bit unkempt!
