OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:
Positives: Finding this one hard to look at - I've never met anyone who is more anti-smoking than me and normally I wouldn't choose to look at this for as long as it takes me to make these longer comments. This certainly is a slice of life and I certainly do, despite my prejudice, appreciate the authenticity of the image. It clearly pretty rich in social commentary too. Technically, I think the light (and slight vignetting) is the best part of the image.
Critical stuff: Of course you know this is out of focus; I'm not sure it matters and I think you know that too. Extra sharpness would add nothing to the story.
Overall: Not an image that I like, but one that I can respect.
