Meh, just made some more attempts with macro.

Also, I don't usually like black and white, but I decied to test it as well.

ISO suggestions to improve

first of all: i dont like instant ciggarettes XD
dunno if it is the contrast thats to high or the light in there that makes the rings on the ciggarette disapear on the top
also have no idea how to make it but i am missing textures in the ashtray
selective coloring worked well
perhaps with a longer shutterspeed you could have captured more smoke ? or a shorter speed and with flash ? well marcros with flash ... hmm crap XD
did i helped you ?

Black and white looks great on certain things, depending on the picture of course. You're not the only one, I don't normally like B&W unless it's with film. I would have liked to see this one in color too :). It's kind of interesting looking at the tip of the cigarette and you did a good job making that part the most clear

very nice pic!!

I'd like to see some more detail in the ash tray, but otherwise - nice shot.

Great picture!!!
I don't smoke and can'T stand the smell of it, but I still ike your picture

Holy dof.

I like it.
