i was going to stop after my last comment .. i noticed this one because of its title & was wondering wot it was that you might'v been smoking ... i'm so relieved to see that it was only some innocent little cigarello possibly .. this would be a WOW shot anywhere other than dpc ... they're a hard bunch'v buggars thats for sure .. !!!!!!!

The face is a little dark, but I like how the hand is lit. Good Job.

I'd prefer a much tighter crop so we could see some of the detail on the mans face

It's a shame he has to hide his habit in this day and age

very nice actually. i liek this. My only criticism is that i'd like a touch more light on the face or at least less red cast on the face. good luck

one feels if the guy was directly head on partly obscured with a trilby hat might boost its noir quotient a bit... as it is, i like that it's quite a moody shot, though it feels that the white balance is a bit off (bit too red for me) and his fingers on his left hand both obscure his face and appear fuzzy in comparison with the rest. as you can tell, most of my criticisms are regarding his posture; technically (apart from the WB thing) this is really nice. i especially like the large portions of black; it feels like its enveloping and suffocating your subject (but in a good, cool way). you can also sense the immediate darkness as soon as the lighter goes out. yeh, this is really evocative in terms of mood and style. more i look, more i like it. 7.

So you are smoking one too eh? I hope you are doing better than my 4.5xxx at the moment. I like the colors here, they look very natural.

This shot might suffer from others like this in the challenge. But its a good shot and meets the challenge but no "WOW". So 5 form me.

Wazz
