Low Key Office Art. Two challenges in one. Just kidding you. I like this one a lot actually. It takes a good eye to look at a phone and think "low key."
this is a good setup. i like the highlights and curve of the cord, but the contrast on the phone itself is very muddy. i find myself commenting on a lot of "boring" subjects in this challenge. i guess people wanted to practice the technique more than bother finding interesting photographs, which i can't really fault them for. you've done well with the technique. 6.
The cord alone would have made an interesting shot. The phone its self is boring. Maybe because the tones seem to be different in that area then the cord. not sure. Good luck.
Lighting and composition are wonderfulhere, as is focus. Oddly, the darkness doesn't seem to add to this photo's interest. It still remains a desk phone. Perhaps a different point of view would heighten the drama? Still, nicely done.
