Thank you everyone for comments - I find some good points in all your messages - though not all match my taste.
Interesting observation, smudgeSMJ :) You see, smoking has different dangers ;)
Rating clearly shows that my attempt to say something like "young become old when smoking" was not successful; for different reasons - both technical and aesthetical.
jeger, I was not trying to present cigarettes before and after. That's why hands are important :) But I appreciate your comment - it helps me anyway.
Happy New Year!

Greetings from the Critique Club...
I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 5.
My first thought is that the image is a little busy overall. A closer crop, perhaps even a square crop might bring to attention the important elements in this photograph. An alternative photo that would be really simple would be one without the hands. You chose to include hands however, and this adds another element to the photo, and speaks of age as well as habits. I find the empty box of cigarettes a little distracting, and think the image would be less complicated without it. I don't think you would lose the message in doing so. Last but not least, I think the image could be a little brighter overall.
I hope to see your photographs in future challenges.
If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you. |

| Nice idea, personal opinion but I think it would have been better with a bit of smoke and a little less background. |

| Love the ages of the hands. Would've liked a closer crop and a little better lighting, though. |

| I like this idea and really like how you had a younger vs. older hand present on the photograph. Only thing I would wish this, that picture was a bit brighter. |

| Haha, I can't help but see that if you smoke, you apparently turn from a lady into a man? |
