Thanks a lot! vor 10 Stunden schrieb Ernstk: Why? I'm sure many women will find her attractive too. Ernst I am sure you are right Ernst vor 10 Stunden schrieb dkCambridgeshire: Depends on how 'used' the 'old ash tray' is – can be very repulsive when in close proximity. 😀😀😀 vor 6 Stunden schrieb pcgarner: All opinions aside, the image is powerful. And really what photography is all about. Kudos. And congratulations for sticking to your guns. Thank you very much! I also think that especially because of her eyes it is very powerful and self confident. The smoke fits very good to the scenery 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t lusting over the young woman, not my type, just questioning ‘nothing like the sexiness of a woman smoking’.

Ronazle Posted January 3, 2024 Share #26 Posted January 3, 2024 (edited) The image is in fact powerful and stands alone. Hmmm , "like kissing an ashtray"??

Guest Posted January 3, 2024 Share #27 Posted January 3, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well done (sehr gut gemacht). I like the idea that the tip of the cigarette is dead center, while her head is slightly off center. Creates a certain dynamic. There once used to be a whole segment of portrait photography that included cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars (Winston Churchill for example, or Theodor Heuss), pipes (mostly for men), elaborately decorated cigarette holders etc. That interplay between a strong graphically line dangling from the mouth at interesting angles and the human face behind it, I always thought there was a certain sensuality there. With smoking often banned (or replaced by vaping), that's not so much the case anymore these days... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread reminds me: The sexiest woman I ever encountered smoked occasional cigars and somehow, somehow, I managed to deal with the small distraction.
