the b/g seems to bleed thru, were you shooting green screen?

not sure where you are in your progress of learning photography, i know i already asked in the thread about your lighting. as far as this goes, its generally better to avoid wrinkles or folds in the b/g. this is not always possible depending on the workspace but moving the subject farther away from the b/g and opening up the aperature a bit will blur the b/g nicely, or perhaps blurring it in photoshop takes the attention of the b/g and puts it back on the subject where it belongs.

there is something disturbing about the eyes, looks like maybe you used shadows/highlights to brighten them? whatever method its kind of glaring. other than that its a great character shot

nice softness, next time, maybe try bringing the light up higher and point it down some to light the top of the head a tad. you can get some really cool shots with a softbox way up high, almost pointing straight down and a reflector on the floor to bounce light back up.

graffiti always makes a good backdrop, if its the same guy from the fence shot i would ask him to close his mouth for a few shots, but maybe we just havent seen them all....

blur is bothersome on this one. makes me think of Joan Jett
