A very strong portrait.  You've got a great pose and very good lighting going for you here.  It might be just a tad over exposed or it could be my monitor settings that are loosing some detail in his shirt.

The light spots in the upper left, I don't care for them.  I tried a version in which I cropped down to loose the spots and to concentrate more on your subject.  I also added a slight frame.

Stunning Bob!  I agree now after seeing the upper left.  Your revision enhances it tremendously!

Just for fun I tried something else.  I cloned out the white spots in the upper left and added a thin frame.  I wanted to see what role the tighter cropping played.

My take at this point is that by cropping the man becomes "stronger".  In the non-cropped version he comes across to me as more of a victim.  (If that's the continuum that I'm after.  Not sure.)
