Greetings from the Critique Club!
An interesting portrait of an interesting man, to be sure :-) I guess you can see why the number of hand comments, the angle here gives him an even larger set of hands than he already has! The one closest to the viewer is literally the size of his head. If this is what you wanted, it works!
Now, pay attention to the restaurant lighting. The lights are overhead and pointing straight down, so while his forehead, cheekbones, hair and to an extent, his beard, catch the light...the eyes are in harshly defined shadow, as is the mouth. It just doesn't really work. The angle of the booth behind his head draws attention away from him and down the wall to the visible wall light. There's a reason why portraits are generally just head and shoulders!
Hope this helps
