The digital noise enhances the message of this photo, but the Noise Filter is acceptable by DPC rules and gives a more uniform (and less distracting) result than the compression artifacts it looks like were used here.
Scary. Nice comment of smoking, and the marketing of smoking. I could go two ways with this - either strip away all of the familiar - the everyday clothes, the background - have the face leering out of the darkness with cigarette in hand -
OR
have this skeletal figure in a totallye everyday situation - sitting at the luinch table with friends offering a cigarette.
The half wall half curtain background doesn't really work, I would have used one or the orther. Good work on the make up tho, that mouth is really freaky!
Looks like a "Say No to Drugs" campaign. Technically, the shot is not composed very well, due to a lot of unfocused areas. Could be a shallow dof, but it is probably due to a longer exposure. Either way, the balance is flat and the picture does not convey the message well without the words.
