 Had fun shooting this one. Luckily I finished before the scotch was gone. SHQ with 500 watt lighting bounced off the ceiling.

Bill, thanks for the scotch.
Chris, thanks for the cigar.

A fine resolution! This is a good clear image. The whiteness of the ash tray is a little distracting.

Great color scheme and I like the composition very much! Contrast and lighting is a bit harsh, but works well here with this subject matter. I like it very much. good luck.

My kind of goals! The hat makes a great background, well set up. The lighting may be a bit too much, the ash tray seems too bright and the glare off the bottle is distracting. Still a good shot though.

That's the spirit! While most of the pictures here portray quitting, yours vow to lead a high life. And why not?I love it!

Nice composition and love the colors and focus. Just a bit harsh on the white ashtray. Nice going.

Nice colours and composition. Whiteness of ash tray, and whatever is visible through its slot, are distracting. I can provide scotch recommendations!

Nonconformist, hey.
Good setup and colors.
The ash tree is somewhat too overburned

Yeah, why stop when you could just ask for something better!
 01/07/2004 09:23:17 AM
HAHAHA!!! I love how its not to give them up, but to aquire better quality ones..
 01/07/2004 06:59:41 AM
this is very good, the idea and the execution all together... different color ashtray would've worked better with the rest or warm tones of the picture... 7.
