I must say that this was both a very enjoyable setup AND the worst time I've had doing photography. I am not a smoker, but i needed a smoking butt to get the look and feel. I stunk up my whole house for this shot, so it better rock the vote! ;-)

This is one of the better shots in the challenge. Great composition, lighting and props (attention to detail). Had a similar idea glad I did not do it because you executed superbly! Well done!
I'm telling you: it was not Al Bino who did it. It was Kerry Oki!
Nice set up, great lighting. Maybe a burning cigarette in the ash trey would have completed it even more, but that's a detail.
Edit: only now that mefnjhas drawn my attention to it I saw the smoke rising up.
I was so focused on all the other elements/details in this photograph, ashtray included, that I didn't notice the smoke.
I'm so so sorry mefjn.
