Hi Aloha,

Very dramatic effect. To get the attention to the person you can crop the picture a little bit.

greetings

omer

I like these desaturated tones, they give such a strong impact to the image. My compliments and welcome on TL

nice! very sharp. i love these kind of photos. shows great expressions. a smaller aperture would work better to bring the hands in sharp focus. and nice smoke too! thanks for sharing

Cheers

Great shot, but do we need anything other than his face, hand and smoke. Do a tight crop.
