I find it nice done. Though blue background are bit too distracting.

The cigs are in great focus, but the bottle's so out of focus that I get no sense of perspective looking down its throat.

That's unique and creative. Nice focus and interesting lighting. Compositionally, the crop of the bottle lip is a detractor, IMHO. Lot's of potential for this image. Brings back memories of watching someone pick up one of these and take a swig.

Comment by lwiley212:
I appreciate the simplicity here, but think the composition could use a little more thought. Is there a reason that the background shadow intersects with the subject's chin? The shallow depth of field works to good advantage for the background, but perhaps needs to be just a bit deeper to make sure the silhoutte is sharply focused throughout.

Although the subject looks stationary, it just doesn't come across as a strong subject choice for this challenge. I would have like to have seen you shoot this from a little lower perspective to capture more of the chin in silhouette. A very nice balance of dark and light space.
