Think it's a great photo, and while I hate smoking, I often find myself liking stylish smoking images.

The only thing I would consider is losing the title - I think the image speaks for itself and while I get the double meaning, my first take was that it was kind of clubbing me with the obvious.

Regardless, very cool photo. Nice work.

Excellent work.

I'd like to see critical focus on the left eye, but it's a minor point - I love it...

Love it - frankly, and I'm not exaggerating, this is the closest digital photo to Velvia that I've ever seen...

Great job!

Though it certainly has value in itself, I would have like to have seen it without all the PP. The concept is stunning, but I have to admit I'm somewhat put off by the manipulation of the face.

Still, I can see why many would like it, even though I found myself disappointed between thumbnail and full sized.

Again, would definitely like to see this with the face unmanipulated.

An exceptional photo. I would be interested to know if it was planned or serendipity.

Regardless, it is excellent.

A gorgeous photo - nice work.

I would have to agree that it's oversharpened and that at full size (at least as "photo.net" allows me) the stars are distracting - they look almost like "hot pixels".

These issues pale in contrast to the beauty of the image as a whole. Again, nice work.

Nice job, I like it. The only caveat would be that style of background is getting a little dated (at least in my opinion).

I'd be interested to see a B&W version.

All in all a nice photo the subject of which should be very happy about.

I really like it - great photo, though I admit part of me would like to see it without the power lines. I can certainly see the arguments for keeping them, they can be seen to make a statement of sorts, however, they are a tiny bit distracting.

Still I can't see how you could avoid them without a lot of Photoshop work, the kind of which I have mixed feelings about (it wouldn't really be what you saw in my opinion)(I know - there's a lot of ways to argue that).

That said, really great shot.

Absolutely an amazing picture. Great work. My best friend wants this lens now. I assume it was reverse mounted?
