Not been at DPS for a while. Not been shooting much. But here is an idea i got cos i know i should quit. What do u guys think. I went for the pale look cos thats how a smoker feels.

Please let me know how i could improve this cos i really like the concept.

Nice, glad to see you posting again Kunal We missed your creativity. I really like the concept as well. I can't actually see anything that I would change. I think that it's really well done. Hope you get back in the swing of things photographically.

I think it is a great shot. An interesting variation would have been to have the mirror-image smoking and smiling and the "real you" coughing. It depends whether you see yourself as someone who enjoys smoking, even though your know your body pays for it (the present image) or as someone who would like to give up but who finds it holds you in its grip (which would perhaps be conveyed more strongly by the second idea).

This is great! Very original I like it. The only thing that distracts me is the colored stripe on the bottom of your shorts, looks like it's a part of the faucet too xD

I really liked Wulfs standpoint, it makes sense. But sometimes hindsight is amazing. I really love your imagination and your execution of this.

To reiterate on earlier comments, I think this is very creative. There are quite a few multiplicity shots out there on flickr but I think you have used the idea well with this concept.

If this was me I would have to have a pint/bottle of beer in my hand too as I am only a social smoker these days (Although since I'm back in the UK you can't even do that any more lol)
