For what it's worth: I had this in my top 4 and had expected it to do much better than this. It's a great picture and it fits the challenge perfectly...

Max points for idea and set-up, very expressive and spot-on, captures a feeling and a state of mind so well. This is what a photo should be all about, so a 9 from me, Unfortunately, let down a bit by execution and technicals IMHO. The blue color cast affecting only part of the image is distracting. Also, a large part of the photo is a rather gray and uninteresting wall. As a result, the image feels "flat".
very nicely lit smoke. i wander what you could have done to make left and right halves of the photo to correspond more from the ... well, visual point of view :)
Hand-rolled smoking thingy! Sitting on a fan, which leads me to believe someone was trying to clear the smoke from the room. Wonder what's on the wall in the bathroom that he's staring at? Something cosmic, no doubt.
