What a fine portrait. It's perfect. If anyone is trying to quit smoking they're in trouble. He makes it look like a delight. Is that awful to say? I hope not. It's just such a real capture if you know what I mean.

@sherri: I understand what you are saying. In a way it's almost kind of a glamorous look, thinking about the films from the 30's and 40's....the cigarettes always seem to be part of the mood that was being created. For the record, I abhor smoking, plus I'm allergic so that does not help matters either. Thanks Sherri...for your kind words and in-sight!
Superb image. Another intriguing image with many different perceptions and understandings, making us think.
The processing is fantastic. Impressive work BC
That is a terrific portrait.
I am another allergic-to-smoke person. It was a welcome relief when it became possible to go into a restaurant without sucking in smoke.
The added softness lends such a romantic air to this. FABulous as always, BC!!
I've had a look-see at all I've missed and there isn't a one that isn't incredible. But the one I'd hang on my wall is the angel bird from yesterday... touches the heart and makes one sit back and philosophize.
the picture show him as a perfect man in his own way.
the kind that makes you think about everything you see twice and the color theme give it a real depth and strengthen the message, i really am over joyed by this portrait, well done. keep it up.
