Aperture: 1:4.0
ISO: 100

 Actually a self-portrait (my first). Did very little to the image itself: cropped & converted to b/w plus adjusted light exposure - that's about it. We'll see if simplicity is all it's cracked up to be! :-)

I'm learning a lot about what "not" to do with my entries (and I'm actually not very fond of this one). Hopefully, this will move me forward on my learning curse (oops - I mean curve).

Yep, that is where they have placed us smokers. Bump.

Moody, dark and very film noir. Perfectly meets the challenge.

Very Interesting. Would have liked more separation between the hand and body. Maybe had him touching his forehead as if in thought.

I think if the entire hand's silhoette where seen it would be a more interesting photo. Cigarette is a great touch. Slower shutter speed... say around 1/20th of a second on a tripod would have picked up more smoke but left youir subject sharp if he or she was not moving..... just my 2 cents. Nice pic. 6.
