Converted to B&W with a little burning around the edges, and the bottom of the step ladder.
The man on the left has a cigarette in his mouth, but because the photograph has been scaled down so much, it's hard to see on this image.
This photograph seemed to attract some negative comments around the title. It was entered in a photojournalism competition, so I didn't see anything unusual with using an provocative title. It is ironic, but a lot of people didn't get it.

This would have been a good time to use a fill flash so the guys faces weren't so dark. This is a good shot though and something I could definetly see running in a paper
This one just makes me laugh. Great shot. Works really well in b&w. Hope this does well for you. Bumping up.
Edit - bumping up one more time. This is in my top 2.
