Intersting how he (?) sort of emerges from the background. Different.

Interesting, I really like the concept of the silhouetted smoker, but I think the background you have chosen isn't a good one, it's too rich and doesn't fit well with the theme.

i don't think I am getting the essence of the shot, smoker i can see but what might make him exciting for the shot is being hidden in the silhouette 3

not very appealing? hard to see the outline here.

The silhouette fails to work here !! not enough contrast to seperate the silhouette from the background, 4

This pic is way to dark for it to work as intended. Smoke to ad to the msoker would have been good as well
01/26/2010 12:28:43 AM
way too dark for my liking
01/25/2010 02:38:44 PM
Hmmm it's a bit dark. I'd like it better if there were at least a glow from the tip of the cig.

not enough to really show whats goin on.

I think this would be better if the smoker was illuminated some or if you wanted to keep the sil. then I think a brighter or direct light in front would serve this shot better.

The silhouette is is good and sharp, however the background is too dark and muddled to do the subject justice.
01/25/2010 09:24:31 AM
this is really a nothing shot...
01/24/2010 07:37:43 PM
The smoker? Like the one in 24? lol ;) I love all silhouetted images. Nice one.
01/24/2010 01:45:26 PM
I think this would have had a genuinely good mystique & intrigue to it had it been a little brighter......4

I understand its supposed to be siloutte...but, couldnt it of been with a lighter background? I wouldnt of been able to make out the photograph unless I read the title
01/23/2010 09:55:34 AM
Way too dark, would not know what this was if not for your title. A silhouette is a good idea and makes a good photo but it needs to be against a clear background to work. Right now he's blending into the background and is too hard to see.
01/23/2010 02:45:47 AM
almost there but just too dark.
01/22/2010 06:43:55 PM
Too bad the background isn't a little lighter so the person could stand out a little more. Excellent idea and well captured though.
01/22/2010 04:16:30 PM
Can barely determine the outline of the person much less that he/she is smoking a cigarette.
01/22/2010 11:50:54 AM
way to dark for me
01/22/2010 09:41:09 AM
Wow... if the title didn't say "smoker," I would have had a really hard time figuring out what was going on here. He's almost completely lost in the background.
01/22/2010 12:22:08 AM
Like it for the most part, but I think it could probably benefit from a little more separation between the subject and background.
