This is my number 1 pic for this challenge to date. It is striking and memorable. - Of course I am a person who is ferverently hoping I get to smoke in heaven since I've given up here!

Great lighting, composition and the smoke of course adds great depth and interest, tho it looks like he is thinking about eating the cig. vs. smoking it : ).

Excellent backlighting, great exposure and composition. I like color of the lit cig that is very distinct from the rest of the photo. 8

A pretty stunning piece of work. Perfect apart from the fact that it's slightly off center - but that's not really important to the impact.

I need to come back and read your explanation. I am puzzled about what I am looking at, but I like it. Looks like an electric light with a substance on it which caused smoke. It you crop the lower part with the threads away it become really abstract, makes me think of a bomb explosion. Funny to see the hand with finger. A warning against violance ?

This is very creative, still trying to figure out exactly how you did this, very interesting.

That's just a great idea! Does the bulb wire produce the wonderfull smoke by itself or did you add some smoking stuff onto it?
And yes, I do see the hand and finger too, so the title fits very well. Good luck
