VOTE - Technique Challenge #1 - LOW KEY

[Kathy Burzynski]

Wow, what impressive photo submissions for the very first Technique Challenge.
I really, really struggled with selecting the finalists. I hope that many people learned a little more about low key photography. I viewed every shot large – so when you VOTE PLEASE view them Large. I thought about how the photographer used low-key to really make a difference in the feel, drama or story of the shot. If one of these photos is yours please keep your eyes open and start thinking about what technique you would like to teach so we can expedite the process and start a new challenge as quick as possible. Congratulations to the finalists and everyone who participated!!!
1) Michael – Egg Thieves
2) Darja – Hollywood
3) Taffy R Bubbly Lily in Lowlight
4) Kate Don’t Let it Out
5) Bob – Mother & Child
6) Northy – Old Friends
7) Laura – Low Key #5
