Kort... the image you posted and the ones Littlejock  have above are fine examples of what I think are good low light. You both left  the details of  the subject in tact, and also brought to eye the mood as close to what the real view was when taken. How I can explain this better is that, sometimes you want to take a photo and keep it exactly as you saw it, even though a camera can sometimes lose the details such as your wood grain. Then  the light from window can wash out the scene if not exposed right. Yours did not.
 Definitely the older buildings or antique styles seem to go best with low light.
Just on Sunday I tried a similar shot in a barn, and it  was a disaster.

Now Valou...your example of low light tutorials are excellent. You also brought out the details of the flame,while adding a very artistic approach to it. You also  chose to make the door opening one in B&W which is appealing.

 What is interesting and captures my eye on Littlejocks  photos is how the shadows  work in favour.
