Another shot missed on the first pass due to my dark monitor as I missed all that smoke floating upward. Wel presented challenge entry, the only thing I would say is when I downloaded it I tried a different crop and removed the hand, that is not a smokers way to hold a cigarette? the smoke then seemed to profile the face.

Anyway, bumped an extra point after the second pass ;)

Good lighting, strong shot. Perhaps a more gray tone in the border would help?

The face commands more attention than the smoke for me.
