Description
This is an updated version of "Glory Box". I recently took a long look at it and realised that the contrasts weren't dramatic enough. A gangster kinf of look was intended, esp. with Stephan loving Scarface so much. So here's the new look, the warm and cold colour contrasts give it this atmosphere...Model: Stephan

Uh! I love the light works on this one. Great way to get the smoke stand out more.
Love it. Well done!

I really like the smoke that hides the eye of our sad model...The picture has two sides :
-A cold part with blue tones
-A warm side that becomes like the the other side...
The persone is like dying...because of smoking.

that'S smoke, isnt it?
if it is, i really love the idea... maybe i would have made the smoke going off the model's mouth, even tho that's a pretty clichΓ© picture

Yeah, that was my intention!
It was actually coming out of his mouth, but I like the more abstract mist it gives in this one. Thanks for that constructive comment!

Ohhh...I like the smoke in this one. It doesn't normally work if someone tries to capture smoke and make it look good.
This one is great...the contrast you choose as well. The colours work great as well.
Great work!

I think it's really cool and brilliant how the smoke hides half of the face. It also has somekind of sad feeling to it, I don't know why.
Oh...and I like how the eyelids are lowered. XD
Nice picture!

Your cold grasp of the realities of this world continue to make my jaw drop. If I hadn't been doing this damn thumb-thread for nearly 24 hours I'd be leaving you a paragraph of comment. Instead I'll tell you that as a teenager who smokes whenever she can get her hands on some cigarettes, this makes me think twice. Beautiful.

Awesome, I love the limited of colour in this photo; it's a very low key photo. I also love how the smoke covers one eye. The photo as a whole is very eye catching.

first of all, the title is shared by a music that kills me
second, the photo's amazing; the smoke dramatically covering half of the man's face, his slightly expressionless gaze, the whole darkness around it.

Yeah. that's stunning. like half his identity is obscured by smoke.. or it IS the smoke.. mm

Yeah, I can't add anything new to the smoke comments, so I'll just cruise on the kind words of those who went before me!

this was all around very well done. I think dramatizing the contrast deffinatly added to it!
and of course, I like that smoke.

i'm a smoker.. and i must say.. this is one of the best smoke picks i have ever seen!...
it maybe could be amazing poster for people who just started to smoke - so they don't
is there any way that you can't amaze me?

I don't know why we find smoking so sexy. I'm not really a smoker myself, sometimes I can't stand it when people smoke a lot around me... but still, it's alluring.

I like how you can only properly see half of the face
