I think the cropping of the image was done well.
Perhaps The picture is too contrasty. Perhaps somelight should be given to the entire image... and let it still be dark, but not SO dark. an image can be low key with good detail. This makes an image more interesting generally than an image that is too dark to see anything.
overall, good, just play with the lighting a bit more.

Thank you, and all the commenters. I knew the degree of darkness would be a problem for some people (even to see), but I really wanted it dark for a variety of reasons, including that a lot of people would recognize my model if I showed any more.
My light source was quite faint -- I'm actually surprised I got any kind of decent image out of my P+S camera. I "punched up" the swirly lights a little, but the rest is a pretty straight photo. I meant to post a photo of the set-up (with the lights on) but forgot -- I'll try and do that this weekend.

| Nicely done, Paul. Nice composition and balance. I like the way Isaac's face fades away, upwards. Colour looks good to me; I like the shades of red. |

| You probably heard this one before, but I believe a little more light on the subject would help here. |
