This was taken with the 55-250mm. Thoughts?

Smoke is too well defined/bright, it was the first thing my eyes went to and it looked like shaving cream on his face.

I do like the exposure and composition on the image though perhaps a bit dark.

Smoke to me seems very distracting and is making the left eye look as if someone painted it. Other than that, the shot is good.

Disregarding what lens it was taken with, the picture seems somewhat bizarre to me.

Bizarre? Care to explain?

The smoke - what, if any, message is the picture meant to convey? Maybe the word bizarre wasn't exactly the right description but I am intrigued by your image.

Oh I guess it's not really meant to convey anything really. We were just at a park and I noticed him looking off into space smoking and liked the composition.
