Ha! Okay, okay, all the technical comments are on target.

But my first reaction, and the one I hope you were going for, was ha! I mean, your expression is priceless.

So thanks for the smile. :)

I don't understand why you cut off his arm when that's central to his pose.

I'd like to see this cropped lower to see the rest of his arm & the entire tattoo. The black shirt blends in too well with the background. A dark grey would look better & still keep the dark look of the photo.

the light washing him from the front makes this feel like a snapshot - a good snapshot but still a snap

At first quick glance it looked as if his head was floating because his black shirt blends so well with the black background. Funny expression though. :)

Nice snapshot pal. Did you hit every branch on the way down the ugly tree!

Scary. Did he ask you to take his picture? I would have too...

great image and tones... perhaps a bit too candid to be a portrait for me but otherwise, well done... :)

Its funny pose, at first I thought his head was seperated from his body because his shirt blends into the background. If he is flexing his muscle then I think we should see more of it in the picture.

the dark shirt and the black background make his head appear to be floating. cool shot though

Nice pose and composition.
Lighting is a bit harsh
good luck!

His fist looks green and his face very red. The light on the back of his neck is distracting. With this being advanced editing, a little more time could have been spent in post editing to make this a better shot.
