Today at Lunch DigitallyChallenged
We were at a casual dining place and my buddy was a bit dressed up. I popped out my camera and (much to the annoyance of my companions) snapped a few photos. The sun was shining in the window to highlight the smoke in the dim room.

The first I didn't like at first because of the total lack of a head. After seeing it on a bigger screen I REALLY like it.

The second I liked immediately but after a bit of looking I wish the table had been clear except for the ashtray and glass.

The second is him holding his cigarette.

from the thumbnail of the first shot, I thought he was holding a knife.

I typically hate black and white stuff, but these that you've shot actually work. Kudos.

It had the potential to be a great shot. It is good as is. I would have included more of the hand/table/cig.
It's also not quite level.
Pretty good job though.

Yeah, the first pic would have needed a little more of the open space on the righ, but I am DEFINITELY feeling some atmosphere from it. I think it's nice. I kinda like the second one more because it's more open and has more light/smoke.
