Greetings from the Critique Club.
Wow, looking at the comments you certainly drew out lovers and haters for this image!
Composition: Composition is ok but if anything it is a little bit centered. Your title refers to cigarettes so the clock is not going to be seen by many as an integral part of the image. What we see first is that big yellow rectangle on the billboard - right in the middle. Where to now our eyes say? Left to the rest of the billboard or right to the clock. Thats one of the problems with putting something in the middle of your shot.
Technicals: Lighting is both good and bad in this shot. There is a nice moody feel the way it is but it is not being used to draw attention to a particular element, rather it is just there, as it is. The image size also feels wrong - an almost panoramic style but we don't have a lot to see in most of the image.
My Feelings: OK, I wouldn't have voted quite so low as this ended up being but it was never going to score high in this challenge. Your thining was good behind the image but one of the "tricks" at DPC is to make sure your image fits within the "popular" definition of the challenge, otherwise you are going to get lots more of those "DNMC" comments and votes under 4.
PM if you have any questions. |

| I hate cigarettes, too, but this image doesn't really say that to me. Sorry. |

| Interesting. Would love to know why you've gone so dark with processing though. |

| The lighting is somewhat confusing in this photograph, but the colors of the poster and clock are interesting. |

| Interesting composition including the clock the upper part dark. I guess you are trying to say that time will prove you're right. |

| Too dark, can't see enough of the billboard. |

| I do too, but this idea could have been more creatively represented. A shot of a sign and clock with cigarette ads wouldn't have placed well in the challenge due to its lack of interest and uniqueness. But a half exposed one with white balance issues is doomed to fail. |

| I can't really see what it is - I would suggest bringing the light up a little bit. Otherwise, this is an interesting shot! |
