Another Dark Tale From The Naked City...

I'm telling you: it was not Al Bino who did it. It was Kerry Oki!
Nice set up, great lighting. Maybe a burning cigarette in the ash trey would have completed it even more, but that's a detail.

Edit: only now that mefnjhas drawn my attention to it I saw the smoke rising up.
I was so focused on all the other elements/details in this photograph, ashtray included, that I didn't notice the smoke.
I'm so so sorry mefjn.

The pearls, the make-up, even the hair-do comes right out of a film noir...

She plays her part very well :) (at least - I . hope she plays it)
One small detail on which I'm still hesitating: her right eye in the dark, as it is now, or just slightly visible...

And this is a scene from which movie? Are you sure you're not a photographer on movie sets? :)

The Night Chicago Died

Great image but in a way the young boy "playing" the mobster role makes me hesitate somehow. Therefor I'll only look at the execution.

In a way, I prefer B&W for Film Noir. However, this color photograph works perfectly due to the fact that you kept the color to a minimum. The red lips are the point of attention and are made up just the way it should. *9*

How did you...? This intrigues me that much that I hand out a 9 for the work you did.

Great construction. From the thumbnail it looks much more simple which makes the full a real surprise. Well photographed.
