So I was shooting candids at a cheerleading competition and this coach walked by me.
Her: You takin' pictures?
Me: Yes ma'am. Trying to.
And she strikes this pose and gives me this big grin.
I've seen her before at games and stuff, and I suspect she is tough as a pine know (as my grandmother would say) but also the life of a party. She had a aire of confidence and "ownership" that you really don't see a lot.
Converted to bw, adjusted levels a bit, and used noise reduction.
Not sure about the low-key part. That has never been one of my stronger "suites" but this shot is the only one i've gotten this week that is even remotely dark enough.

Has some elements of low key, though it appears to be a broad daylight shot that was darkened a bit. However, I'm not totally sure of what low key is anymore. I thought I had it defined before this challenge.
