My kids looked at me with extreme disgust, while I smoked that Cigar and my wife was trying to get a good shot.. She took at least 30 shots or so, before I decided I cannot smoke that thing anymore. This was the best I was able to come up with.

Great focus and love the off centered image. The border is a bit large for such an unimpossing image. IMO it would have worked better to stand alone without any border. Great title....and the image. Nice work
Great composition and B&W. PhotoShop effect is though, too much much for me. For my taste, cleaner smoke and not that oversharpened face would do better. Maybe a darker background would highligt the smoke better.
I love the concept in this. Can almost imagine the smoke forming sort of a skull-like image - wished it did. I know you can't control that. My only gripe is the funny texture on his lips which does nothing to enhance the photo.
Yep - to live is to die. I find the processing enormously overdone here. Composition is fine, in a kind of stock manner, and the smoke is well brought out.
Choice, I like the result here. Maybe I would have turned him just slightly more away so that the far cheek doesn't come into the frame. It looks a little out of place somehow, but still one of the best shots here!
