Great detail on the face, but my eye is drawn to the bright area on the right. Perhaps darkening or cropping a bit may avoid that. 7

I like that you got him looking right into the camera. There is definitely a deepness there, even without the title leading me to see it.

Great portrait. Love his eyes. The background seems a touch off though. :~)
