Low power flash fill might lighten the details around eyes.

Very cool scene, and good use of HDR to add depth to the sky and buildings.

Interesting effect created by the raindrops.

A Mason ring, interesting. I think the light is the issue with this portrait. The most well-lit element is your hand, and I consider that a mistake. It should be your eyes in my view, which are the least well-lit here. The position of your face is affecting where the light falls, or, if this is flash or studio, the lights are not positioned ideally. The right eye is completely "dead" -- not a hint of a catchlight, those areas of reflected light in the eyes that give portraits so much depth, and help the viewer connect with the subject. Lastly, the border is a bit too much -- it does indeed affect the experience of the viewer, and something more restrained, perhaps even coloured subtly to reflect the colours in the photo, would have been ideal. I can see you've tried, though, and so 6.

Still you're getting a 5 here, but this could have been much better!
