A little transparency to the smoke could be helpful so you can see the figure better.. nice concept (the pills and the gun are a bit lost... might be because they are very small.. high res you can see them fine,,, but I think the noose is enough information.. if you remove the pills and the gun and lower the noose (enlarge just a teeny noodge to give it more umph) I think the balance would be fine.. BUT THAT IS JUST IMHO... making the noose more prominent and a bit lower into the image will balance out the yin yang of the black and white theme

Good Luck and Great Job!!!

Thanks for the great advice Ernest...whole morning that pills and the gun bothers me...I remove them, make noose bigger and turned opacity a bit down on smoke...Thanks again man...

FANTASTIC FIX... just those little tiny tweaks and it looks SO much more fun... GREAT JOB!!!

I LOVE being able to really see the figure now... awesome!!

Very disturbing and emotional image. Great work!

This one is awesome. Very well done, and good luck to you author.
