This is a marvelous photo -- but it doesn't fit low key, imo. It looks more under exposed than low key. But I do like it, just not in this challenge.

This is a lovely image! I love the softness of the fur and that gorgeous light!

I wish, for this challenge topic, that the outsides of the image were darker... allowing the bear, even in this low light, to draw the eyes straight to him/her. Maybe a vignette? BUT, I say that not really understanding "low key" myself. I just know what I like. :D

And I like this image. :)

I'm not sure this meets the challenge of "low key", but I love the image.
