funny thing is that I don't smoke.. lol, it's 15 more minutes to deadline... LALALALALALA.. hope you guys like it somewhat, not really typical zen or anything (hence the satire part), expect a lot of votes on both sides the spectrum, now I know what that last minute get the pic in rush is like, I'm now a true DPCer

This was inspired by Dave, who is a smoker, I stole 1/3 of an idea of his and made it better, IMO, that's ok, he hasn't paid his membership

here's what I probably should've entered

Did give this a 7, my thought at the time was that the cigarette,distracted from the Zen effect, maybe a marque around the white and cork tip, and lowered the levels to the minimum, it would have finished higher. Just a Thought.

There is another image just like this one, but I like this one better. You can see the ashtray and cig clearly. Plus the smoke is looking pretty cool.

Smoking kills, but not this photo. Definately has a zen appeal. Great job from the "Great job Baggie"...

For me, this would have worked better if it was just the smoke, IMHO cigarettes dont say 'Zen' to me

Creative but the lighting on the ashtray could be improved IMO

This is a skillfully taken image. Strong lines and detail. The shadows within the ashtray have clipped, but nonetheless, 9.
