one last cigarette

First of all, the technique is amazing. The depth of field is just right, and the way her leg leads into her shot is superb.
The concept is cool - you see so many pictures about the apocalypse, but this one has such a unique feel to that cliche. I feel like she's sitting in some war/plague ravaged world, and her response - all I've got to my name is this box, this lighter, and this cigarette, but it's the end of the world, so screw it. Very blase, and I love that.
Plus, as I'm sure you know, the color scheme works very well, I love the color of the hair echoed faintly in the blush on her jaw bone - very elegant. And the stark black on light is echoed from her legs to her face, with her very defined eyebrows. Overall, a superbly constructed image, with a refreshing take on an old idea.
