Wonderful low key shot. You managed to retain tons of detail. I really like the lighting technique involved here. Not sure why it didn't do better, maybe still life isn't in right now on DPC? Good capture.
I think this works very well for low key - you brought out the texture and design on the flask very well. My only nit would be that the separation of the base of the flask from the surface upon which it is sitting is hard to discern.
Pretty! (but uh, manly too ;-) I like its tonal balance and the embossing on the flask. Low key challenges are a pita, such dissension about what the term really means. Hey, if this shot were in a regular challenge, you'd probably get 'too dark!' comments. Go figger. Pfft. Anyway, be happy, it's a lovely picture to add to your collection.
