Cigarette Graveyard

The place where most cigarettes end up...the cigarette graveyard! This is a Doral cigarette. This ashtray had been satting outside for about 2 weeks when I took this photo.

5 miilion die every year from cigarette related illnesses. That's 14,000 a day!

The World Health Organization says that will double to 10 million a year by 2015.

I smoked 2 packs a day for 17 years. Then I had a collapsed lung in 1987 and spent 5 days in the hospital.... haven't smoked one since! But my wife still snokes all the time, and I get her second hand smoke. She tries to quit but the power of the addiction is too great for her to overcome. King Nicotine is a powerful Ruler.

I like the macro...is that a Doral? I also like the fact that the ashtray is wet and yucky looking. Not the Glamorous Past time it used to be!

a great shot indeed! It looks so sad, although that is the best place for cigarettes.

Its suitably yucky, and the DoF is great, but there is seems to be some thing up with the contrast or color.

the subject of the picture(cig) is out of focus and blown out. I'm not a fan of used cigarettes either, urgggg.

Interesting choice of subject, but there doesn't seem to be anything that is properly in focus and it just has no appeal for me.

I like the subject. The picture should convince anybody to stop smoking :-)

From the technical point of view, the picture is a bit too sloppy for my taste. A bit too dark, and out of focus.

Except for a portion of the cigarette stuck in the ashtray, nothing else seems to be in focus.

For a macro shot I'd like it better with the foreground cigarrete in sharp razor focus.

I think the cigarette is out of focus. I have nothing against the subect, but a bit of PS work could probably help dramatizing it.

I've been with no internet and I will be without until 3rd of january, sorry if I don't comment until then.

Cigarettes are Sexy regardless of what you pickers say.

However I believe that this is the exception and not the rule. I'd be willing to be donuts to dollars that Most butts end up being flicked to the ground rather than in the graveyard.
