Challenge: High Key Photography

I composed this image of an electrical transmission tower and its power lines in response to a photography challenge: create an interesting, monochrome photograph that is a good example of the high key style. Confession: I had to read about this style.

 

A high key photograph is is characterized by light, bright tones. Often, high key photos will have white or light-colored backgrounds, and the subjects will be well-lit. This type of lighting can create a feeling of airiness and spaciousness in an image. High key photos can have a beautiful, ethereal quality when done well.
