Well done. Very artistic, dramatic lighting.

This really is a wonderful photo. Well thought out with the light & shadow, excellent idea with the smoke. Not an obvious "failure" but a really nice image.

the left third could be cropped to focus more on the figure here to make it even stronger. -7-

Unique choice of subjects for this challenge. I like the low-key feel that you produced and your lighting is fantastic. I'd like to see him pulled off the background a bit and a slightly more shallow depth of field used to blur that slightly wrinkled background.

Very nice range of values but the background is boring, maybe a country setting would be better.

well, it may be a match failure, but a success for his lungs, at least for the time being, I love the lighting, the B&W, the pose and the composition, awesome picture ... ok 10

Stunning! I love the mood. Very well done.

In this challenge, this is my top pick. You have an actual failure (rather than relying on your title). As for the image itself: very strong, excellent B&W conversion. Toning and lighting well done. 10
