 I was going for "scary" with this one. Well, scary in a subtle way.

I wanted it to be more silhouette-y, but I couldn't work out how to get the light right. I used a spotlight from up high, and got the model to blow cigarette smoke.

It's one of the best image of the bunch but I find myself difficult to justify whether it isn't studio shooting...8.

Nice idea, but would have preferred something more candid in the way of smoking..

Excellent concept. IMHO, image could be sharper and have a bit more contast. I like the simplicity though.

The smoke is like a reverse silhouette. I really like this pic. Very creative.

interesting photo. I can see nothing wrong with it, it all seems very considered.
