Although I have a problem with the depiticion of \"Cig's\", this shot is technically excellent and meets the 'After Dark' theme as well as if not better than any other in the challenge. Kudos! As it turns out I rated your picture the highest in the challenge... Independent of the 'ciggie' ~ it's a winner. I particularly like the way you worked the lighting & exposure. When first viewed my eye is drawn to the bright spot in the picture whereupon the subtle , yet brilliant, glow of the cig is revealed. That feature would be lost on any that only judge from thumbnails. Features garnering my appreciation & pondering include; the source of 'smoke', as it's wispy look does not suggest steam nor do I think the ciggie or model could have produced that much smoke with one puff. Your light source(s) producing the glow on the neck, hat, chin & what may be the left side collar. The right arm, wrist & hand. Even the gaze upon the Ciggie by the model is conveyed very well. All of those features add up to a photo which is too good to be considered just a "lucky shot". You clearly exhibit the much coveted trait of 'Photographers Eye'. I rate this shot a "Ribbon Winner"

Excellent. I love the blue of the smoke contrasted with the red of the cigarette, and the whole silhouette thing in general. 10

Lighting is great on this and so is the pose. The title seems a little cheesy, but that wouldn't cause me to deduct any points for this. Nice work.
