So close I can't tell what I'm looking at. If it is a flame, what is the grid pattern particularly in the orange area?

Cute picture but I think you forgot to edit it. Try sharpening it and tilting it so the tree is straight. Also use a little dodge and burn on his eyes to really bring them to life. Also other than you just shooting and having a good time, remember that shooting during mid day will give you a very hard light like you see on this head and shoulder. In this case you should have spun him around and used the light in your favor. Also try using some flash in daylight as it will help with lighting up areas where the sun is hitting your lens and causing it to expose differently.

This has potential, but it is such soft focus

I like the concept, but it seems a bit overexposed.

He looks more like he's going through a mid life crisis than peeking out through his fingers. He looks fed up of something.

Simple but so intricate. Looks like little bubbles all around the cigarette. Interesting.

Nice loft take on the pose. Lighting does feel a little out with his front in apparent shadow.

Not fond of the centered composition. Also, if you shot the butt from a different angle as apposed from directly above, it would probaly give more depth to your subject.

I like the high key(s) lighting in this shot. The sky and water look a lot like they do from a boat. You captured the smoothness of the water and landscape of the Keys in this shot.
