I too wish a little more light fell on the face to go along with the jacket, very nice otherwise!!!

Can you explain the post-processing?

Looks great by the way.

Nice Job Michaelaw.

Composition and concept is awesome!

I too focus on the cigarette. it must be because it's a beacon of white. It being the focal point is not the concern for me though. The fact that there is NO smoke makes me pause.

I'm from the Adams school of B&W and you are too far down the dark side of the spectrum. If you could up the exposure without blowing out the shoulder and cigarette, it would be perfect.

Cheers!
