Greetings from the Critique Club };-)
Initial thoughts
Great lighting and mood, meets the challenge well, light seems a bit off
Composition/ Content
Composition is excellent, I really like the shape of the shot. Your "rule of thirds" set-up works well here. Black and White was a great choice.
Background
I like the way the table melts away into the blackness. The dark background lends itself to the mood.
Camera Work - Technical
Perhaps the best thing about the shot is the cylindrical bands of light across you subject. I assume this was shot high through the glass on the right. Excellent work.
Digital Processing - Technical
Sharpness and tone are good. Might have possibly used a bit more contrast on the glass so we could see just a little more of it.
Fits The Challenge
Definitely fits the challenge well.
My Opinion On The Photo
You barely missed the ribbon and it is one of the top shots of the week. I really don't have much to add as it is truly a great photo. Good job, and keep up the good work.
I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

| very deep meaning and profoundly emotional image. the darkness, the half-burned up cig', the reflections from the drink in the nearby glass. Shows how hard this resolution must be to commit to. |

| Great mood in this image. The rings of light bring connotations to year rings. A very, very good idea. Congratulations! (full score) |

| Very dark. Very nice! This is my favorite picture of this challenge. Excellent subject, focus, contrast, composition. B&W is great. I know some people who should also quit smoking. Good luck in winning the challenge! |

| Nice job. I like the way the lighting curves on the table. I think I would like to see the cigaretter at a little more of an angle. |

Nice image. Would have liked to see the shadows in the ashtray opened a little more to give more of a hint as to it's presense. That is a small nitpic though...

| Interesting use of light and composition. Am having a bit of trouble making out the right hand side of the image. |
