My first attempt at Low Key Photography. A little bit of darkening in PP. I deliberately chose not to go b/w.

Does it work?

Razor sharp! And at 1/10s! What lighting setup did you use? It almost looks like backlighting, but the spill is so narrow.

The photo was taken in natural light angling down from a window at day break.

I woke up and saw the rim lighting on my wife who was still fast asleep and dashed for my camera and tripod.

I cropped the window out since it was distracting
