I'd prefer to see the end of the cigarette all lit up red to really express fire but overall still a very nice image. fantastic sharpness and a welcome departure fromt eh in side black backgrounded flame shots i've seen.

challenge description is more fire than smoke... i do like the pictures menace though ;treatment in terms of colour and shades and ever so slight desat works reall effectively. i think it might be better if he didn't have the phone to his head though, just seems a monir distraction for us the viewer. it's a cool candid portrait; but still not sure how relevant it is to this challenge... 7.
