Nice to put a face with your entries and comments. GL

Author, you're very right about the focus , but then I'd make the ash also a bit out of focus (maybe it can go from bit blurred to sharp), so that there's more connection with the cigarette. Good luck!

Idea is ok, but imo the cigarette looks a bit too blurred. Is it possible to make the edges somewhat sharper? Good luck!

nice soft focus

The most filthy DISGUSTING gross habit in the world... and I never miss a day.. hehehe.. I'm so bad

Wonderful work author.. the blending is wonderful.. (Please make sure you post an unedited version of the face pic on it's own.. covering your bases)

Very good blending, author!
