When I saw this I was glad I went with the pipe shot instead of the cigar. LOL Well done, Lev. This was in my top 3, as were the two that finished just behind you. Well done and well deserved ribbon.
As soon as I saw this, I wanted to give this a 10. It tell's a story, everyone knows what it is about. It is a crisp, clean shot with drama. I can see this on a cover of a Mickey Spillane (my childhood hero btw). But then I looked again, and I wish it had a little softness to it, a mystic, and almost old time feel to it, a light colouring to it, so it did look like a book cover or something MS's from the 40's. It is too crisp and clean. Adding a softness and vinaigrette and maybe a touch of grain. This is how I would see this picture and give it a 10++++++. 9 from me as it is a drool worthy picture for myself. Can not wait to see who this was shot by as I think, you did another shot in Smoke that I love.
