I've looked at this one several times during the period its been posted.  I sort of like it, sort of don't.  

I think I've figured out why it isn't totally working for me.  There's no 'main subject'.  The man's face is so obscured that the picture doesn't seem a portrait.   And his hand/the cigarette are so indistinct that they don't seem to be the subject either.  The thing that hits me most in the frame is his elbow and I don't think that's what you were trying to show.



Perhaps a less "stylized" version?
