from the critique club:
Now this is a very composition kept back from shinning by the use of the raw light. Such a light used to backlight the entire scene would have given you a superior effect. It would have brought out the smoke and created a more dramatic effect.
To stay here as it is, means bringing the light back further and employing fill lights to soften the harsness. I like unfiltered light but it requires a lot of attention to bring out the subject and subdue the blown highlights which grip the eyes about the fingers.
You have the right idea but always remember that you can never do enough variations of a given shot. I would have rotated the light around and made different captures. I would even have bounced the light off a reflector.
Again, the concept was great but the execution could have used more light variations to hit paydirt.
