It's unfortunate that the tip of the cigarette is out of focus.

Depth of field problems - the back of the cigarette is out of focus.

I like the white ashtray against the dark background here, it really makes it jump out at ya. However It also makes the cropped edge of the ashtray stand out. I like the simple approach that you have taken but I don't think that I would have cropped it the same way. I would have included the entire ashtray and might have left a bit more on top to catch a little more of the smoke. Just my thoughts.

Good idea, but doesn't really hold my interest. I think more smoke from the cigarette would help.

Nice simple habits shot, I would like it though if the focus were on the cigarette more. Good job overall..

poorly framed, rotate left with cig in left bottom corner and include whole ashtray perhaps?
