I know you can do better than this, because I've seen some of your other work. The whole image seems a bit gray. I think a levels adjustment might help. I like your message. It deserves a bit more effort. |

I like the idea, but yeah, the lighting and low contrast don't help it. You could use this as a processing exercise - see what you can do about the contrast and sharpness. |

I don't quite get this --- if you are going for a cigarette feel, I would have added some smoke coming out of the pencil. A bit more contrast would have helped too (the image is a bit flat)and would have made those darks stand out more. |

Lower ISO and better focus would improve the image |

I think more contrast is needed to create a more impacting picture.. |

Probably safer with the graphite. Seems a tad unsharp IMO. |

your title might go better if you had a cig box in the shot as well. I am assuming that by "cancer stick" you are talking about cigarrettes, but the pencil does not really convey that. |

Nice idea. Everything falls in the midtones. Would like to see some true blacks and whites. |

I really dig the idea behind this, but the contrast is distractingly flat. |

I don't quite understand what's the idea behind the image |

I like your idea. The colors and gray areas seem a little flat to me. Perhaps if there was more contast or if the pencil was in an ash tray, I would have scored it higher. |

This image really lacks contrast. Making the whites brighter would have helped a lot. |

The lighting is bad. And the whole shot is dull. |
