Really catches that essence of the smoking man. Good job.

Very nice compsition and beautyful smoke. I find the noise far too strong though. Also dark halos around the hand and cigarette. Because of this, I liked the thumbnail better, but still a beautyful picture.

I loved the X Files and this character was one that made the series for me. You've done a wonderful job of creating the feeling and mysteriousness of this classic character. 10

Man, I was an X-phile back in the day. This shot brings back some good memories. 7

Neat shot. The slight distortion really lends to the conspiracy thought. Good Job.

Too much noise in this capture. I would have probably preferred more contrast since the Smoking Man almost always seem to lurk in the dark in search of Mulder. great smoke trails and a great image except for the visible noise.

I like the treatment, but I wish you had shown a little bit more of at least the hand, if not a shadowy figure.

I'm not familiar with the X-Files, so I don't understand that conspiracy, but the cigarette does make me wonder about the tobacco companies.

Cool grainy filter. Makes me think of an old b grade movie. Nice!
