I think textures and shapes such as these are ideal for black and white which really highlights form so well. The lighting is fairly even in the lower two thirds of the image but the top third suffers (in my opinion) from overly harsh light. I imagine this is outdoors so it's just the position of the sunlight.

I think the subject matter here is great. The toned black and white goes well with the subject matter too. Exposure wise, I think it's a shame that the very strong light makes his shirt more of a focal point than his face, hidden in shadow, which is what I'd like to see more of. I appreciate this is probably a quick grab shot (after asking) so you could hardly spend time asking him to turn this way and that depending on position of the sun nor use a reflector to get more light to his face.

I know he is catching a lot of air there but if you could have given a land reference, the impact of height might have made a more powerful photo.

Ingrid's right on the exposure aspects. I'd like to see the whole image burned a bit even if the face goes way dark -- could work as an "every-cowbow" study. The sepia is a great choice as it adds to the mood (old western).

I second all of Ron's comments! This is fine "fill the frame" shot and a good use of B&W that brings out form, texture, etc.
