This shot should be included in the video for the popular song. Couple more like this :) Just being silly ..
Looks like he's heard something he can't afford to miss.

Great portrait...I'm not allowed to vote, but I'd vote highly if I could! The cell phone makes it...

The tight crop works well in this instance. I also like the colouring you have achieved.

I'd prefer to see the end of the cigarette all lit up red to really express fire but overall still a very nice image. fantastic sharpness and a welcome departure fromt eh in side black backgrounded flame shots i've seen.

There's no fire here, but the photo itself isn't bad. Just not right for this challenge.

It is a great candid image. Emotive and interesting. Just not enough fire. I will vote you on the technicals of the image and the correlation of the cig and smoke. 5

challenge description is more fire than smoke... i do like the pictures menace though ;treatment in terms of colour and shades and ever so slight desat works reall effectively. i think it might be better if he didn't have the phone to his head though, just seems a monir distraction for us the viewer. it's a cool candid portrait; but still not sure how relevant it is to this challenge... 7.

quite a crisp shot and I like the slight desat, but he's not a particularly good looking guy, so you don't go WOW...sorry
