The Cuban habit

Comment by Garry:
Very interesting image Niall. So many detail to focus on: the eyes, the hand, the cigarillo, the smoke etc. Personally, I really like this composition, especially with the dark negative space to the right of the figure (although I'm sure some will tell you to crop tighter). Only "negative" comment is the face seems to be lacking some detail, especially around the eyes and cheeks. I think maybe part of that is clipping of the blacks?

Anyway, I think this is a good entry...I suspect it will do 5.8ish?

I have something for smoking pictures. I like this one too. The smoke in the shot, the look in his face, almost as if he's asking please let me stop I don't want this anymore. Very intruding. I like it a lot.

I like how thesmoke has formed a sort of headpiece. Nicely done with the toned B&W.

Looks like Bobnospum was the only other one to guess it, though my own guess was a little more specific. Hope you didn't really expect an exact ID of the cable and connector model!
