I like the pose and the use of negative space to create a different feel than a tighter crop would have

Nice job dropping the background without losing the image!

So good... Great contrast and detail, and the composition works for me. Digging for nits, I do notice that the skin on his face has picked up some digital blech, and some shadow detail is missing. A little positive gamma and punch up the darks a little to keep the contrast and it would be perfect. Congrats!

Nice photo .... I love the white background in this ... would have like to have at least seen the subject's hands, even with the same framing.

Very nice use of empty white space at the top of the photograph. It adds to the feeling of isolation of the young man.

Simply great portrait photography. Meaning a great subject, great expression, great photography/lighting and great post processing.

I really like this photo. It makes me want to go out and take portraits of people only in the bottom half of the frame and leave a lot of white space. I like the subject, the expression is great, and the white space really enhances it. It makes the "disappointment" more poignant because it makes the subject more insignificant, blah blah. If you are getting comments to fill the frame more, ignore them, because those people are wrong ;-)
