The emotion you feel for your dear friend certainly reflects in the shot, this is in mi opinion an outstanding shot, which maybe should be printed and shared with your friend

I seem to have a very different idea of what a good DOF shot is vs the majority of the community , nevertheless

This image is wonderful. He has a calm about him and a little sadness but overall a kindness that comes through.

Sorry to hear there might be a sad story behind this shot. A wonderful capture of your friend. His eyes are engaging and say so much.

I voted this an 8. A little more light on the face would have been a 9. A little more contrast would have been a 10.

Great eyes, but it feels like there's forced DoF everywhere else. Unnatural-like. Could just be razor-thin DoF, but if it is it's too thin to make it work.

Good shallow-DOF portrait. My guess is a 50mm on full frame, 1.4 or faster? Well lit, very sharp and I like the composition.
