Smokeby matiscroComment by melismatica: I don't know if this was intentional on your part bu this is way too high key and contrasty. Some shadow details in her hand and more visible smoke would have been nice. I'm distracted by that area of shadowy lumpiness between her hand and her hair. I like the perspective. |

Smokeby matiscroComment by hannafate: Not enough focus, and washed out. If her hand was held higher, so that you could crop real close in on it, and still keep her face in the shot, this would work better. Then, the focused part would take up more of the image. As it is, there is a lot of empty space that isn't adding to the image or the idea. |

Smokeby matiscroComment by photom: A very unusual portrait. At first glance, I saw a hand under her chin with a finger pushing the chin up.... So it's abit mysterious and makes you look twice. |

Smokeby matiscroComment by 16point2mm: good concept, but the right edge of the shot is so washed out that almost all definition ofthe cigarette is lost. |

Smokeby matiscroComment by C-town driver: This is a great photo. I think the challenge in capturing these "smoking" shots in b&w is difficult because of the obvious need to contrast. But here, you've done it nicely. Composition is nice with good use of f-value to emphasize the theme. Nice work! |

Smokeby matiscroComment by Count: Interesting use of b&w, framing, DOF and contrast. I really like the blown out contrasts... good job. |

Smokeby matiscroComment by Dusty: Too blown out, needs more sharpness on the cigarette. Otherwise it would have been a pretty good photo. |
