side lighting like this really accentuates and emphasizes textures in skin. i think this is perfectly chosen for this shot

Composition: Good job placing the eyes at the top of the frame.

Lighting/Exposure: I am loving the way the light falls off into shadow that isn't quite shadow. Retention of details is wonderful.

Pose: Very nice head tilt :)

Suggestions for Improvements: I am lamenting the loss of half your right ear. :)

Very nice first portrait. You command the lighting well. I look forward to seeing more.

texture and the eyes are amazing. Id love a discription of that beauty dish. I might like to see a bit more light on the left (viewer) side.

I also like how you've retained the detail in the shadows. Nice portrait.

the first thought that came into my head was this, its one of those guys who is a pretty tough character, but underneath it all, he just wants to give you a hug. haha, i love the lighting to his eye, and i like how the important elements (the pierced eyebrow) are in shadow, but not lost in shadow, overall, awesome job.
