another outstanding shot, compliments Edwin! The smoke coming out of her mouth and the expression of her face make a great impact, especially matched with your title. perfect sharpness, would be a great photo for a anti- smoking campaign! :)

superb portrait, great how you've caught the smoke. She doesn't look to be enjoying it much.

The color is incredible! Except for the smoke, all is in the same tones... Her skin, the pipe, the necklaces! And the texture of the skin is of course impressive too!

Hello Edwin,

Excellent capture you have shared. The skin details are outstanding and her expression wonderful. I also like the similar colors throughout the image contrasted by the smoke. Very well done.

Peace and Love to you always!

Great job! This image is full of contrasts. I like the monochromatic colour with the contrasting blue smoke. The contrast between the wrinkled face with the smoothness of the smoke also makes the image stronger, emphasizing the overall message inside the image. Even the DOF adds to the contrasts with certain areas not in focus. The face is static while the smoke moves - another contrast. Wow, does it ever stop...?

Composition, exposure, cropping and model placement is spot-on. Well done!

Hi Edwin,
This is an excellent portrait, with awesome colors. I like the position of this old women with her expression and specially this smoke that comes out of her mouth. Very well done.

Grappige plaat, Edwin.
Als ze nou 40 jaar is, klopt het dat roken slecht voor de huid is. Maar ik schat haar toch wel een paar jaar ouder.
Of komt dat toch door het roken???
Groet,
Joop.
