Think its from Robocop 2 where Robo gets reprogrammed with a load of junk directives and he opens fire on a guy smoking and says "Thank you for not smoking". This image reminds me of that or is it just me

Nice and funny association; I like your interpretation, mine is totally different but it doesn't matter.The good thing is that the picture is leading to various opinions.
Many thanks for yours Daniel.

Very cool. Its a great shot to begin with but i think the sign just gives it that little extra something.

Definately, the sign creates second (another) meaning;but anyway, everything depends on interpretation.
Thanks a lot for your kind comment.

I think the picture is a great shot! Good capture of their faces and pose, and that its black and white color scales.

Wow this certainly speaks volumes. It's far more frightening to see that realistic display in the hands of a child than any other person.

I hope,that this picture is showing a huge piece of hypocrisy and rather will lead to the thinking then disgust.
Thanks a million for your opinion,really appreciated.

It looks like morbid, but in fact the kid was only playing with the present from his father in the lazy afternoon.And nobody was smoking there.On the other hand an expression of this image is tottaly innocent.
When I was making this picture I was thinking about limits of prohibition in the society...
Thank you very much for your comment,it means a lot for me.

i like this shot. curious about why this wouldn't be photojournalism. not sure what the formal definition of that is. this certainly tells a story

Thank you very much for your comment.I personally like when the picture is telling a story;or creates different interpretations.
In my opinion "Execution" can be classified to "Street",City Life","People&Portraits",maybe to "Photojournalism" too.Sometimes I am having difficulties with classification.
Warm greetings

completely agree with the classification difficulty. I'd say ultimately it doesn't make as much difference as capturing the story you want. also, nice how stories change over time and the perspective can expand. cheers
