This is helped by how the cig box looks almost empty, one of my favorites of the challenge. Love the lighting in particular, and the the textures over all.

Very good lighting on this one. Each butt is well defined, and I like the soft focus on the pack.

the image looks a little grainy, and it feels a bit off-balance to me. i like the setup though.

Very clear photo and I really like the depth of field used. It just lacks the appeal of a winning photo for me in that it isn't really interesting, I think the crop is what makes it not work for me. Also I have to say alot of smokers might be insulted by your title, lots of people have bad habits and don't like to be called trashy. Hope thats not to nit picky for you. 5

YES! Thank you! I love the smoke and the half burnt cigarette balancing on the ash tray, but you could have used a little something to catch the eye toward the upper right or left hand corners.

A good idea, although perhaps there could be a little crop from the right hand side and the bottom to improve emphasis slightly.
