 This was a fun shot. Ive wanted to do this for a while now and this challenge was it. I light the cigar but it didnt show up in the photo very much. I wish I had another light that couldve made the smoke visable.


Post: Thanks everybody for your comments! I had high hopes for this, but thats ok. I had fun with this shot and may try it again sometime so I can get the smoke to show up.

This is good. I think I would rather it in B/W with some smoke showing. Good strong portrait.

A pretty good portrait, but I think the button at the bottom should have been cropped out, as I find myself staring at it all the time...

This shot makes me think far more of the mafia than a CEO. Neat lighting, but it gives a bit of a sinister appearance.

You nailed this one. All around great. Some smoke and a heater would have been awesome. I'll be upset if your not 1st or 2nd. Good luck!
