This is great--i remember it really jumped out at me during voting! it is driving me a bit crazy trying to figure out exactly what you did tho--maybe a reflection of a mirror image thru a curved (wine?) glass? i dunno! very cool effect!

as far as the pic itself goes--i love the stark color scheme. the dark background really shows off the lighter tones of the cigarette. i wonder if the effect might have been more pronounced with a more solid background? i kinda feel like i am looking at a piece of construction paper. that might have worked with another subject, but i dont think it does justice to the patterns in the cigarette filter and paper. also, i think the uncenteredness is interesting, but i think a less tight crop on the top and bottom might do it more justice.

over all i like the general feel of the photograph. the lighting is very cool --i think the overexposed whites really set off the neat lens work (or however you did it!) nice work! :)

wide angle close up? now there's a good use for it! nice work

This is a very interesting effect, but to me it doesn't make a very cool photo. The cigarette is very far to the left of the photo for no apparent reason... the negative space doesn't do much for the image.

Neat effect! I'm wondering how you did this, but it's pretty cool! (Maybe a special mirror?) Focus is very sharp, very detailed shot. Interest is moderate to high, good humor! The left side is a tad bit over-exposed, but otherwise good lighting.

Original! Would have like less grain the background but good shot!
