Nice composition. Is that smoke drawn on something behind or what? I think it's good but honestly.. I see a lot of similar things on here.. and to me they all look kinda flat. Similar tones I mean, not the concept. They look like the background has just been darkened.. and poorly. Maybe the light is a bit harsh aswell. Sorry you probably don't want me giving heavy critique.

I will say that this is much better than most though. I like the simplicity of it. It's very classic.

Oh and plus points for a good song.

Thankyou for the critique, it's nice to get constructive comments on my work =)

The smoke isn't drawn, it's exactly as it was when I took the photo. I'm rather amazed at the pattern it made.. you're right, it doesn't exactly look real.
The background is also original - it's a thick black curtain I borrowed from my school photography department for portraits and such. The fabric is pretty monotone so I can understand what you're saying about it appearing to have just been darkened.
Thanks again for that.. it's really given me some things to think about and work on!

Yeah.. while I was typing I came to the conclusion that it was actually the light. I wouldn't have thought it was a flash.. but whatever you used.. it's very bright.. which makes it stand against the black quite abruptly. Like, there isn't much that blends into the background. I wouldn't be able to do better and I'm not saying I know what I'm talking about.. that's just how it looks. I'm glad you don't mind me saying so.

And yeah, that pattern is really fascinating. I'm amazed aswell! In that case.. awesome capture!

Cigarettes always ruin shots for me. ;P
:iconeeron:
cool shot. Very simple, but expressive. Nice work :clap:
:iconcobestar:
i do believe she was born with them. funnily enough, that's where the majority of people get their legs from ;P


but seriously, thanks so much. i'm glad you like it =)
:iconcobestar:
haha, shhhh.
i don't like them either, but the aim of this photo was to appropriate an image by another photographer, and that photo had a cigarette in it.
made my house stinky though.. :puke:
