Sharon, I'm sure it qualifies as low light. I just can't calculate a good EV number. -- Victor

Thanks so much, Olaf! I am happy that it qualifies for low key! As for low light, here is the lighting situation, the room was pitch black to start with and, yes, this was painted with light, a flashlight - 18 lumens. It took 72 seconds to get this exposure. Mathematics aside, that seems like low light to me. Victor, with that additional information, just so I know, can you tell me if this would be considered low light? Thanks! ~Sharon

Don't worry about this being moved to pending. If it's not low light it is definitely low key! Interesting perspective and lighting. The lighting brings out the golden tones and the grain of the wood. Well done!

Hi, Victor, I can't tell from your comment if this is headed for pending or not! Is a higher EV good, in this challenge? I am lost with all the calculations involved here. I am not complaining, I am trying, and I am inspired to shoot some pictures for it! ~Sharon

Despite the EXIF, I cannot calculate EV because this was painted with light. The EV value is actually higher than what would be calculated.
