pink&imperfection

This is for today´s Thursday transglobal challenge: 'pink'
and for the 'October Another Hunt' challenge: 'imperfection'.

One of my greatest fears is cancer.
On the other hand I´m a smoker for many years.
This is at least...imperfection.
Congratulation to all, who never had this bad habit or have overcome.
And I really mean it!

Wow- great juxtaposition. I wish you luck battling against the smoking- it's a hard fight- but worth it.
Nancy Lobaugh17-Oct-2008 02:21
wow.. strong image...
Greg Christie17-Oct-2008 00:47
Excellent idea. As others have commented a strong image.
Máire Uí Mhaicín16-Oct-2008 22:50
Very strong image. Now I wish you the strength to forego the momentary pleasure.

Buy new camera equipment with the money you save...!!! My mother in law died of lung cancer. She gave up after she was diagnosed....if only she had done it earlier.
Put your fears at rest, Werner...give it up, go on, you can do it !!!!!!

Striking!

Strong image indeed. My hubby recently gave up smoking so it can be done with support and prayers. My heart goes to you to keep trying....

Strong shot, excellent composition and colors. Wishing you all the succes with quitting as soon as possible, Walter.

Great image... as an ex smoker myself I can appreciate how hard it is to give it up...
jlm16-Oct-2008 18:15
I understand! i'm also a smoker...
Michael Shpuntov16-Oct-2008 17:23
Great shot. You don't inhale with cigars, so they say they are less dangerous for your lungs :-)
Kathy Pedersen16-Oct-2008 16:02
I can strongly relate to this image and your words. This stirs many emotions within myself. A very good challenge entry with a strong story.
Dan Chusid16-Oct-2008 14:56
Beat the habit and you can use the money you save, on
that new lens you've been eyeing!
Guest 16-Oct-2008 14:39
Being afraid and continuing smoking sounds a bit like the worst of both worlds...
But I get very well the idea.
Victoria16-Oct-2008 13:08

I'm sure that this image will make many people firm in their resolve to stop smoking.
BleuEvanescence16-Oct-2008 05:45
Loud and clear...very well done.
When i was a kid, i inhaled second hand smoke
thanks to my dad who smoked like a chimney...he never even think of what he was doing.
So far...i am so good. Never smoke one cigarette myself.
I wish you the best and this is very commandable.
Greg Vescuso16-Oct-2008 05:11
Very dramatic...Excellent message!!
Cindi Smith16-Oct-2008 04:23
Thanks for the pink...I'm a survivor...and cigarettes are not good for you but I know how hard it is to quit. None of us are perfect and I pray everyday that they find a cure for cancer. No one should have to go through the disease or the chemicals they pump into you to help cure it. Not fun, not fun at all! Thanks so much for your post!

Nice pink dof... I quit 85 days ago....

Outstanding!

Tolles sharfes Foto, wirkt sehr gut mit dem rosa hintergrund. Hoffe Du schaffst es das Rauchen aufzugeben. Ich rauche seit 12 Jahren nicht mehr. Es war nicht schwer es aufzugeben. Ich rauchte 25 Jahre!
Sue Robertson16-Oct-2008 01:16
A very dramatic and meaningful image..
