Other than a few hot spots,(hat, teeshirt and coat sleeve) I think this is a wonderful image.
His skin tones and lighting on the skin are wonderful.
Your focus and clarity on the man is also good. Between the lighting on the skin, and the nice clear focus, you show us some really great detail in his face.
There are a few small things I can mention that could be improved upon, but I don't think it's absolutely needed for the photo to still be great.
First, the object on the left, which looks like a street light is slightly distracting, however, not serious.
Also, and I'm starting to like this less and less, is the harsh shadow created by the man to his right. Probably a result of flash, and being too close to the background. The more I look at this, the more of a problem it seems to me. With a night shot though, I'm not really sure how you could reduce that, other than adding some other lighting around the man, and that might be a bit awkward.
I like the blueness of the photo, I think it fits nicely. Maybe you could go back some night, and drop off a few coins, and slip this into his coin holder as well. I bet it would make him smile.

Oh no.....it looks like another hurricane is hitting Florida. DAMN those hurricanes! Actually, judging by the trees, this was probably shot in Florida. My only problem with the picture is the telephone lines in the upper right.

Composition doesn't work for me, is there an explosion/wildfire going on over in Asia?

The flash is a little too harsh for my liking.

The whites seem a tad overexposed here - it has a funky feel to it, but it seems to be an intended funky feel. Super work. 8

I bet you had this shot for Sound as well. Good shot and use of duotone.
