Good lighting, but for me, too much selective blur. Otherwise, this is good.

It's like a classic theatrical portrait. You're not a bollywood actor, are you? ;-)

What a meaningful look you have in your eyes...very gladiator-esque.

Not a big fan of the inappropriate use of the Katana. As someone who studies Iaido, this is very disrespectful. I do like the photo on technical merits.

By the way you would never draw a sword in that manner. If you did, you could potentially cut your own neck or nose right off. Always turn the saya with your left hand so the blade draws towards the attacker not yourself.

Greetings from the Critique Club
Hi, well I like the idea of this shot, the silohuette of the bird on a nice sky. Placement of the bird in the composition is good.
This background however strikes me as perhaps more PSed than natural, tho I could be wrong. It is an odd color if it is natural light. I would like to see alittle bit more of the crows head in the outline tho. I also see a slight line below the bird that looks like it could be cloned or heal brushed out.

The shot is close to being really good maybe if you were a little close would of helped too ( or longer lens)
Hope that helps some. Keep shooting!
