No idea what it is, but i like! (a broken cigarret may be?)

I'm sorry, but I'm not able to recognize anything definitive as to the subject. (Cigarette butt?) There is some interesting tonal ranges in the image, but it failed to communicate its message to me. Then again, I may be dense.

A bottle of booze? Close up of a cigarette? Not totally sure...

Excellent! Taken as an abstract it conveys the message perfectly... once one manages to identify the subject it becomes even clearer.

i like the idea... but i think it would be better with more DOF, and maybe framing the cigarrete diagonally...

I'm guessing cigarettes? There's no real focal point and it's hard for me to know what I'm looking at. The background looks like a cigarette but I don't know what the black spot in front is.
