thanks for IR ideas ...
decided to check out your work ... and this is the first that i decided to view ...
absolutely amazing ... and far out .. fantastic idea and result ...
Thank you everyone. Quite pleased, and for those that asked, yes I smoked them all, and no I don't practice what I preach. Sorry. To any kids out there... Don't start smoking. That is all.
Great idea, good dramatic capture. Would have liked to see a cigarette in his mouth. I am sure you tried it and maybe it wouldn't hold. Love the smoke from the skull though.
The propaganda is in the title, not in the image. The image tells the real story. A great image which could be used as a poster straight away, no improvements needed. I especially like the smoke coming out of the skull. 9
Excellent shot!! My favoirte in this group for sure. Only did you have to smoke all those cigarettes...yuk, maybe they were propls only!! But then all that second hand smoke!! Very powerful and good jot. Meets the challenge will in my opinion
It's a little quibble, but I think I'd have preferred to see the skull facing the ashtray. This is still one of the best photos I have seen in this challenge so far.
This is just a great shot! I love the way the skull looks like it is smoking. The grossness of the ashtray & all the filled butts really adds to the effect & is complimented well with the title. THe lighting & composition is of course excellent! Great shot!
Nice effect to have the skull smoking as well and the cigarette. Post this around town! Well lit, nice focus. I might crop a bit more off the bottom left - make the cigareetes go right to the corner, the ash tray is in an odd position , and doesn;t really finish the corner. 8
You're so right. Great, powerfull image on the subject. Great fitting Title as well. The only thing is the pic is tilted a little too much to the left. Good job. 8.
Great idea and photo, almost made me want to quit smoking :-), only thing I don't like about this shot is the close crop on the left side where it cut of part of the ashtray. 9
Message clear to understand. Macabre way of showing message makes image somewhat fascinating - that woud guarantee attention should it be shown on a billboard or similar. Balance doesn't quite work for me, too much empty space at right and not quite enough at left.
I have seen many anti-smoking propagandistic posters and ads...you have a best-seller here. Excellent title (which could be applied to the image and then sold in a minute I would bet. well composed, lit, good focus...good job 10
whoa .. this is great!! I think this one speaks a lot.
Love the smoke rising from the skeleton - and where did you get that head?? Its very cool looking! Excellent job, I hope to see this one in the running for a ribbon!
I thought I had my favourite of the challenge, but this one matches it (same topic interestingly). Perfect lighting. Hard hitting message. The smoke coming from the skull is sensational.
Wow, this one is dreadfully effective! I love the composition and the smoke, I would be happy to see this one in the top 3, so good luck, go on! :-) Take 10 from me.
I've heard this phrase as propaganda before... I love the smoking skull though! I think I might have cropped a little off the right hand side. Still a powerful piece of propaganda, yuck look at those butts! -9-
good interpretation of a classic! although the framing could have been improved ... a little more to the left so the ash try is completely visible for example
Good anti tobacco propaganda. They should buy your photo and spread it more. If I could give this one a 20 I would have given it. As I cannot, it is just 10. I am honoured to compete in the same challenge with this photo. I wish will be a ribbon!
thought the title spoke for the image, great job! Fading out into the black background helped, together with the aged skull, conveyed a sense of hopelessness. Now, Do u smoke in real life??? haha!
Nice concept. Crop a little more off the right and see about getting the camera angle more pleasing. The ashtray feels like it's about to fall out of the frame. 6 -danny
