This to me isn't high key. The lighting isn't typical high key lighting, and the subject isn't light colored either. I think one or the other is necessary for a high key image. -- Victor
Like Sharon said, it might be difficult to make a dark cat a high key subject. I struggled with the same problem. But, you did well with it. Love the cat's white eyebrows. ~dtallakson
Nice capture Troy and interesting to note the various interpretations of High Key during this challenge.
Being no expert on this subject I'm happy to say I like it and leave it to others to evaluate the subjectivity of high key becoming ... 'normal' key and then sliding down the scale toward 'Low Key"
Ahh, Sammy is a cutie! And, his background is very high-key, but he himself doesn't seem all that high key to me. I am not sure how you would even get a high key image from a basically dark colored cat. Give him a scratch under the chin from me! ~Sharon
