This could do better whit a box of cigarettes.

I like the graininess of the shot... makes it look dirty like ciggarettes... but the background doesn't wrok well with the subject

The digital noise enhances the message of this photo, but the Noise Filter is acceptable by DPC rules and gives a more uniform (and less distracting) result than the compression artifacts it looks like were used here.

Scary. Nice comment of smoking, and the marketing of smoking. I could go two ways with this - either strip away all of the familiar - the everyday clothes, the background - have the face leering out of the darkness with cigarette in hand -
OR
have this skeletal figure in a totallye everyday situation - sitting at the luinch table with friends offering a cigarette.

just a little grainy

Perhaps a full black robe with the hood on, and a pack of cigarettes would bring your thoughts to the viewer better. 5 -danny

i guess this would be more effective if it looked like the subject was actually trying to sell cigarettes. i think this depends too much on the title.

Very well done indeed. The b&w and grain gives this impact. Nice makeup job as well.

The half wall half curtain background doesn't really work, I would have used one or the orther. Good work on the make up tho, that mouth is really freaky!

Very good.

I understood the look you were trying to achive, but this photo doesn't give the feeling, mabey some cigarettes in the picture would have helped out.

This would be more effective and understood without the title if you had a cigarette in the photo. Of course, you might not have any available.

nice idea, but would have been better if the cigarettes were visible!

Looks like a "Say No to Drugs" campaign. Technically, the shot is not composed very well, due to a lot of unfocused areas. Could be a shallow dof, but it is probably due to a longer exposure. Either way, the balance is flat and the picture does not convey the message well without the words.

I like this, the noise in the piicture too adds that extra feel too it. Maybe a touch lighter and I would have put it up a mark. 8
