This challenge was way out of my comfort zone. I mentioned in a thread that my brand is bright... soft in living color. But I LOVE really skilled low key photography, and I really WANT to learn how to do it well - like some of the breathtaking images in this challenge! I will practice and get better.
I’m thankful for the comments. I particularly appreciate Wendy’s because it helped me see that my image doesn’t suck... it’s just not right for low key! I agree and appreciate the encouragement on the image itself. THANK YOU!
This is the first time ever in all the challenges I’ve entered that my score started out in the 5.6 range, hovered at 5.8 all week, then climbed up well over 6 in the last 2 days! Made me happy :)

I agree with Wendy... and I tried to convey that in my comment... without saying it right out, since some entrants don't want it "straight up" in the comments. :D
It's a fabulous shot and that should be proven by the high score on what some thought was a DNMC.
Such a beautiful dog portrait, you are a master at this. I think the back lighting took it out of low key, but still a stunning image. I would like to know your lighting system. I generally use only natural light because I really don’t have a handle on using strobes.
I agree with Anita, you are one of the best animal photographers on this site, and this photo displays your remarkable talent once again! Good job Sandy!
One of my two favorites for the challenge - everything is just right here for me (color, focus, lighting, expression). Voted days ago . . . back to comment on a few.
