SP: High Key

I have not done a high key in a while. Well this really isn't high key is it?

But I guess since there are really no shadows to be seen then that makes it high key anyway right?

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
1/125s f/8.0 at 200.0mm iso400 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I like the effect and composition. Maybe not a true HK but well done!

I like it. Good composition. As far as it fitting the classic definition of a high key image, I think it's close. You're right: No or very little shadow is one hallmark of a high key shot, as well as it being brightly lit, having very little in the midtones and little detail in the highlight areas. However, a perfect high key usually has at least a small area of rich, dark detail.

But that's blabber. The shot and the effect work, so go with it.
