Greetings from the Critique Club.
OK, I see what you were going for here. But, the lighting makes it tough to figure out exactly what's going on here.
As for composition, I think you should have made it ovbiously off-centered, or exactly centered. Either would have worked, but this barely off-centered thing here makes it look like an accident.
Finally, as for the smoke, it is a great idea, and very well captured. Unfortunately, it starts from below your image, so it really just looks like smoke from an unrelated source.
I hope this helps!
