 An evening thunderstorm moves in over rural South Florida. I love this kind of weather, as long as it isn't every day, and no damage is done.
Hand held with Nikkor 12-24 @ 12mm. Basic adj and remove one sensor booger in iPhoto, resize with Graphic Converter.
Post challenge;
First, thanks for having a look, and for the comments, all of them honest.
I figured that this would not be getting much glory in this challenge because it's lighter than most "low key" images. I liked the energy in the storm. It's about as dark as it gets in south Florida in the daytime.

This isn't so much low key...but I appreciate the power you captured in the sky and the nice tree in the bottom left which anchors the image.

Cool picture but IMO this isn't low key.

I love this type of capture of weather (tried several times myself to get that feeling of force). In this photo I feel the colour green is slightly too saturated for me. However, I also donĂ¢€™t feel this is a good representation of a low key image with so much light coming from the image. Keep in mind that my own entry is not doing so well so I may not have the full take on what constitutes a low key shot but I hope my comment was helpful. Good luck.

Beautiful pic, but I wouldn't consider this low key.
