Experimenting with PP :)

7,7,6,4,2 - it's heading in the right direction! (and I bet some voters don't know what low key means!)

4.3 at 20, while that's beats my expectations it is amazing how inflexible voters are considering that the challenge had no description and therefore could be open to the interpretation in a wider meaning of the word "key"

And so the war has begun. With the usual players.

Yet another 1x reject

5.28 at 100 with 9 mostly positive comments and 1 fave. DNMC nazis are winning this one, no doubt.
I am going to try this image on 500px and see what it gets. The highest so far were the Birds that peaked on 98.1

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMAGE THAT MAKES ONE THINK AND MY THINKING IS VERY POSITIVE AND PLEASED THAT YOU ENTERED THIS IN THIS CHALLENGE AS I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT DOES NOT MEET THE CHALLENGE IT MEETS IT HANDS DOWN IMO....WELL DONE THE SCORE DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE... FROM SHEZ
So different. I love that you've used a photographic technique, rather than an actual key, for this challenge. I am sure there will be people who are going to say DNMC... but I like this. It makes you wonder, it makes you think... and it's a beautiful photo.
This is a fine image which meets the challenge. I saw the desperate plea in the forums by someone for better treatment of non-traditional interpretations. I've now voted this much higher and adjusted all others appropriately. Good luck!
Excellent shot. Not sure if it will do well in this particular challenge - just because people may think it's DNMC... but wow. Love it. Great colors. Would love to see how this looked before you processed it - as your processing, that was the true key.
