It's a sweet and very intimate portrait and I think the compressed dynamic range and slight softness are the reason it looks so personal. Tim A

Thanks Michael. Tried pushing the hilites...the cheeks get burnt out. Decided to leave it alone as I am not very good at PS.

Very effective with nice emotional impact. (*) For my taste, you could push the highlights a bit farther, but that's merely a matter of personal taste. -Michael

Thanks all.
Phil, thanks for pointing out that low light and low key are two separate topics (missed the 'or' in the topic). Thats been part of my confusion...thought the submissions had to be low light and low key.

The fact that he's facing down and has his eyes closed, makes me think he's praying rather than contemplating. Anyhow, nice shot!

This may be EV5.3, but it's *definitely* low-key. Don't confuse the 2 topics.

I think this picture is very topical. I'd consider a different crop with the face not so centered. -- Victor

Just noticed the EV-Calculator link. Really cool.
Did the calculation on this picture...ev=5.3.
Please let me know if this leans towards off-topic and I will replace this with another shot.
