I think it does make it more low key for this challenge Mary Anne although I must say I really liked it better before! :-D I think it's a little more difficult making an image low key if there are fairly large areas of white or very light colors. It's a very nice composition and I like the subjects. Maybe fill them with some dark red Burgundy wine, place them on a darker colored cloth, and do this over again for Eligible - it could be stunning! :-) CJ
