Blue

I have been trying to enter the low key theme all week with one disaster after another. Or, like yesterday, just a marvelous day that deserved to be journaled just the way it was.

In reality this is a very pretty salmon geranium destined for the garden. I shot it in very low light and then played with it. I tried the different room trick with one failure after another. But I want to play the game so here is my entry for the low key theme.
Absolutely lovely, perfect low key shot.

It's a beautiful low key shot, Cathy! Nicely done!

Good attempt at the low key shot!! I've had no luck at all and no time to improve on that, so I'm a bit envious....

@marlboromaam Better late than never. It took me a while to get one decent enough to post. And I'm so enjoying trying different things.
@kathleenn Thank you Kathleen.
@chauncygirl Heidi I think I cheated. I kept reading on the net how to do it with an indirect light source like from another room but had no luck whatsoever. I used a black background behind the watch in a very low lit room and then used a filter on it in Lightroom - my favorite new toy,
@jackie8 Thank you Jackie. It is Saturday and I've been at it all week.

YOu have done some great work on this one. It is very beautiful. I haven't interested myself in the project so no tries from this side.
