What does catch my eye is the wonderful lighting on the smoke. Great composition also. jano

I agree with Brent, the lighting on the smoke is awesome. I love black and whites! Yvonne

Nice conversion and love the light on the smoke Kiki. All this talk about the price of cigarettes gives me another reason to be glad I never took up the habit. I don't want to hear about overpriced beer though- love it in moderation :-)

Debi: Regular gasoline is close to NOK 12 per liter, including special taxes & our general 25% VAT on top. That' should be around US$ 6.82 per gallon (NOK 45).
CJ: Thank you :) Nice being missed! I've been busy and travelling, but I peek around here - I like *that* habit :)

You've been missed Kiki! Nice composition, circles and lines, and I like how the smoke is lit, but at those prices you better quit! :-D CJ

550 rupees for a pack of cigarettes!!!!! Its around Rs 90 here for the most expensive brand. Beer is Rs 300 at five star hotels and Rs 72 at the stores ( Indian). Imported beer costs around Rs 150-200. Pray what's the price of fuel? - Debi

Thanks for commenting, all. I think I'll have to work more on circles ;)
Doug: At todays exchange-rate, 20 cigs cost the equivalent of US$ 10.82 here (NOK 72). About the same as a glass of beer. We pay for our sins real-time over here.. ask me about fuel prices..
Rod: It's a Stelton, they aren't supposed to be dirty.
Debi: He didn't yell at *me* :)
Penny: Thank you - a perfect excuse to smoke a lot more :)
Tommy: I followed "Corners & Edges" with an eye now and then, interesting. TVCAERS added to it, I just never got time to engage and pick up the camera.

Kiki I missed you in my "Corners & Edges" challenge. (Was TVCAERS esthetic evaluation system too challenging for you, or too silly?) This could have been a contender. -tv

When I posted a cigarette last time, Tommy yelled at me :( - Debi

You could have used a dirty ashtray so it would make all of us want to quit a but.

Excellent job catching the smoke. The recent tax increase but be really bothering smokers these days. -Doug
