Just wanted a few opinions. Would you consider this self portrait to be "low light"? Trying to decide whether to enter it into a "low light" competition. Thanks guys.

That's what I wasn't sure of, whether, since it was the only light source, it could be considered to be "low light". The rules of the competition were pretty vague. Might need to try something else. Thanks for looking. Here's my gear: Canon 1100D, 18-55mm kit lens, Canon 50mm 1.8, Sigma 10-20mm, Canon 55-250mm, Speedlite 430EX flashgun
