23: No tutorials whatsoever this time; It was all heart....

No tutorials whatsoever this time; It was all heart. Though, I will admit to being inspired by several images seen on the web, all of which were also "smokafied" images.

The source images shown by the way were first taken by me. Now that I think about it, the ash tray could have looked great as a stand-alone shot.

nice work! agreed, coulda worked as a standalone. funny, just saw the chains at first, wondered if it was a comment on addiction. the girl's addition addsa whole different storyline. reminiscence? smokehouse? well you had a couple of good images to work with, and both with very strong emotional associations. love the blacks in this and the subtle blues

lol thanks.

to be honest, I made this out of the purest intent of merely creating something; your interpretation wakes me up to the possibilities that I should have seized in the creation of this photo.

damn it all. ;[
