This shot works well for meeting the challenge, however is pretty low impact for me. I don't find the subject to be particularly interesting, and I am not crazy about the composition of the subject in the frame. I like that it is off-center, but not the way the lower edge is out of the frame - makes the composition feel somewhat unbalanced for me. I would have much preferred to see it composed so that there was more than one edge out of the frame.
i don't care for the subject matter here, as i really dislike pictures of cameras and camera equipment, but you've done a really good job capturing the light and contrast in and around the lens. the play of the light on the lens is really what makes this look good. i also like the framing and the tight crop on the bottom. good work. 7.
Graphic shot of a common subject, seems a bit softer towards the right edge, but I like seeing lens flare from 'the other side' for a change. The cropped bottom jars a bit.
Not sure it entirely fits 'low-key' but is mostly black on black.
