Superb shot, but it nauseates me to look at (I'm an ex-smoker)... Maybe it will help some people quit, or keep some people from starting. What's that old saying? "Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world to do. I've done it lots of times!"

I agree with Kimarie, very professional looking! Also congrats on selling it..I am impressed that you do this well enough to make an income from it. :-) I grew up on a tobacco farm and with smokers and I have absolutely no desire to smoke. I will say tobacco smells very good while curing in the barn but aweful when in a burning cigarette!!

Eh...buddy....just out of curiousity...what did you mean in your comment on my upload? "I will send you my similar one in a few mins"....this does sooooooo not look like a flower, LMAO!!! Guess its still a sign of spring though, as they appear on the streets when the snow melts. Impressive macro, and beautifully postworked. Would be awesome for any anti-smoke-campaign. Have a smokinday!!!! #;o) ....edited cause i just now saw that the one i was referring to will be next....DUH. #;o) Oh, and huge congrats on the sale!!!! You definitly deserve it!!!

Superb composition! And, yes, it is poison. I stopped that bullshit three years ago. And it's like starting a new life!

If more people smokes in my area I feel not that well....."SO I smoke too, and I didnt ask for it, because I breath the air....." hahaha

Thank the heavens that both my children hate the way cigarettes smell. I used to smoke also. By the time I quit, I was smoking three packs a day. I did it just long enough to put a hurting to my lungs too. Now I have asthma and C.O.P.D and I have only myself to blame. This would make for amazing billboards. {{VOTE}}

I can easily see why you sold this.You did a brilliant job with this shot.Your PW is perfect.And it's actually an attractive shot of what is always such an ugly sight.Nothing looks worse than a ashtray full of cigarette butts...Excellent work,again,Joe,and sorry I am late seeing it.-M :^)

This image will always cause a response. I dont smoke but if it helps people deal with stress well it is ok. More people die of stress related illness then smoking. Everyone has their own opinion on this subject. But i personal dont like people smoking when i am dining out. As far as this image goes it is brilliant. Love how you presented it and love the selective colouring. Excellent workV

Congrats on making the sale! Love your postwork and image ... so pro looking! I'm so thankful I never took up smoking ... have lived with smokers before, terribly addictive but I guess a great stress relief.

I think the length of all the comments here generally shows that this image works superbly. Very well thought out concept +++
