 This is my dad. My dad has smoked Camel unfiltered cigarettes for most all of his life. Amazing he is still standing. This challenge came up while we were still in Rochester and him smoking was my original idea. I told him what I wanted and he went ahead and did something else. For some reason he stuck the cig in his ear and blew out smoke. This was probably the first of the shots I took and ended up being the one I went with. The goofiness might get me a bit further. Who knows. I did get some cool shots of my dad though. Wish I was home more often to get more pics of him.

PP - Raw conversion, sat layers, selective color layers, levels layer, USM, resize, USM, border.

Outtakes that werent goofy -

Shouldn't the smoke be coming out of his other ear?

ahahah most smoke could be better, with the quick look the smoke isn't very evident. good idea and real black and white without special effects, good the composition. 8

I think this one , without the attempt of being comic, could work better. Just the face is asking "why"

Good photo... I hate cigarettes though. So dirty :P. Overall I think it is good though. I Like the background.

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......
