 I went for a run, and saw that the light is going to be pretty good when I was a few km from home. I made a sprint for it, jumped in my car, and sped off to the beach, which is about 10 minutes away. There wasn't much time to think about composition, so I took the simplistic route. I really hope this is not too simplistic. Let's wait and see.

Stunning image. The "nothingness" you captured is just beautiful and perfect.

Beautiful photograph, but not dark enough (too much mid-tone) to be truly low key imo.

No primary subject, just oodles of space, DMC. Wonderful balance of comp and colours.

Very pretty but doesn't scream "low key" to me.
