Cat, Olaf picked the Low Key topic. He asked me to create an image for the galleries. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought this key for the purpose. -- Victor

Very nice and apt idea for this challenge! I can't help wondering whether this key is responsible for the choice of topic in the first place... :) -Cat

I was *so* gutted to see this as the header image as it's exactly what I was planning (though I hadn't found such an interesting key), so I do feel it has merit here. And it's a great image, wonderfully lit.
Personally, though, I think that as you're using it *in* the gallery, you should replace the header image (perhaps with something plain, using just the words).

Thanks. I was going to not post it at all for similar reasons to what you mentioned. But I thought it also deserved some comment. I think what I'll do is let it sit here for a while and then move it to pending before the voting starts. -- Victor

I think it's such a neat image and a fun play on the title that I can't disagree with entering it in the challenge. It does garner a bit more attention due to the fact that it's in all the headers, though. I guess that really doesn't matter to me, but I can see how someone would feel uncomfortable about competing against an image that shows up 3-6x more (one inside each gallery, then three on the header page) than a normal image. I say let it ride on its own merits, it'd be a shame to waste such a nice capture.
