Terrific shot! I have that lens (I think - did you mean Vivitar 3.8 19mm?), and it's a fun one, that's for sure. Not overly sharp, but really good price/fun ratio. Anyway, like Paul, I like the low perspective. The intensity of the woman taking a drag of the cigarette is what makes the photo. That, plus the camera in her hand - it's all kind of surreal. Like the glasses on the table and the geometric pattern on the ceiling. All in all, a winner!! Thanks for showing it to us. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
