Not bad
comeon CC you can give more than "not bad" surely :P
anyway i think its kinda cool. only thing i dont like is the compo... try showing more of the guy... like his shoulders and stuff next time.
I like it, but personally i think that the whole 'head of a dude smoking' is maybe getting old.
composition seems a lil off...also think the effects you used are quite poor..you can see where you used the X smudge brush and the splatter brush being see-through looks quite bad..not quite sure about the flow either.
I dunno, try incorporating your stock into your background more, and try to make things more smoother and the techniques you use less obvious..because it'll just remind people of previous tags (either good or bad), and originality is key when it comes to design :)
