This is a very interesting photo. However, I do find that the cigarette is distracting. Not that it does not belong there, but the light on it is making it distracting. I find it is getting lost too much in the background.

I agree with Stephanie. Perhaps try burning in the cigarette, just a little. It dfoes tend to pull attention away from his face.

Like this shot very much and would rate it higher but not for the extremely white sky, which tends to hurt the eyes a bit. Perhaps you could add a bit of toning to it?

nice portrait...

Great shot. Excellent execution. The cigarette is perfect - has to be in the shot. Great crop too. Yuo feel the slowness of time in this mans life.
