Why isn't the pipe smoking? Lighting could be better, but I still like it.

I can see the smoke, just about, but would like to be able to see it more clearly.

The focus is about the smoker not the pipe. Too dark

Good portrait, nice lighting, like the angle at which you shot this person.
I was thinking about the pose, there is some empty space to the left. On one hand that works good with the direction in which he looks. On the other hand I would like to see that bottom left filled up a bit more. I don't know how one smokes a pipe, but perhaps a higher position of the end of the pipe and the hand supporting it from below (with the inside of the hand / fingers under the pipe) could help.

Anyway, good job.

Wish there was just a little bit more smoke, otherwise, good job.

Good image, but could have been stronger in my opinion. Getting closer with the camera to the pipe, capturing the smoke, possibly only including the hand, the mouth and beard would have emphasised the smell aspect more.

Nice lighting, but would have liked to have seen more smoke.

This is an interesting image and stands alone as well as meeting the challenge. My Dad was a pipe smoker so it\'s a reaslly positive and nostalgic smell for me. The softness underscores the introspective feel of the image and the lighting supports it as well.
