Greetings from the Critique Club!
What an image! It freaks me out at first because I'm not a big fan of Jesters to start with, LOL but getting past that the expression on the person's face is very candid and telling. I think that despite what most people think, jesters weren't just clowns of old, but the trick for them was to humiliate and point out the faults of others, including royalty, they were the only ones who could get away with it. So his look, the lack of a smile really works well for this for me personally.
The tones are okay, nothing really stands out and jumps off the screen at me and says, "HEY! LOOK AT ME!" much like my 3 year old son does, LOL :) Perhaps just a touch more contrast to really make this shot pop would have brought yours core up. The cropping is okay but could be tighter to me. Using my magic envelopes I brought in the crop on the bottom, cutting out most of the shirt and just a touch, a very small touch on the sides so the very edges of the hat is touching the sides, creating lines to bring me in and out of the shot.
Again, great concept, good shot. Hope my comments help!
