i was going to stop after my last comment .. i noticed this one because of its title & was wondering wot it was that you might'v been smoking ... i'm so relieved to see that it was only some innocent little cigarello possibly .. this would be a WOW shot anywhere other than dpc ... they're a hard bunch'v buggars thats for sure .. !!!!!!!
one feels if the guy was directly head on partly obscured with a trilby hat might boost its noir quotient a bit... as it is, i like that it's quite a moody shot, though it feels that the white balance is a bit off (bit too red for me) and his fingers on his left hand both obscure his face and appear fuzzy in comparison with the rest. as you can tell, most of my criticisms are regarding his posture; technically (apart from the WB thing) this is really nice. i especially like the large portions of black; it feels like its enveloping and suffocating your subject (but in a good, cool way). you can also sense the immediate darkness as soon as the lighter goes out. yeh, this is really evocative in terms of mood and style. more i look, more i like it. 7.
