Excellent!!! Now, the skull and cross bones: are they your addition, and how did you work this in the particular shot? (I'm not a smoker so don't know if cigs actually have skull and bones but I assume not.) #99251

Yes..I placed the skull and cross bones into the shot. I took the first shot of the cigarettes in the ash tray. The second shot was a very close up of an old paint can with a poison icon on its side (skull and crossbones). I copy and pasted the skull and cross bones into the first with a photo editor, made them as small as I could. I turned the transparency down to blend them into the main image. I placed the skull and cross bones onto the butts so it looked like the brand of the cigarette. On one cigarette butt I added a touch of red to look like a lipstick, I also addded the smoke for the final image. #99269
