Nice details. The background appears to have been blurred in the computer, and the pattern is mildly distracting from the subject. If it was not, I would sure like to know how you achieved that look.

He is so ugly he's cute. Nice focus. i would mabye consider portrait mode for tall subjects though for more impact.

He reminds me of a comedian but I can't remember the guy's name. I like the busy diagonally hatched background - goes really quite well with this funny looking guy.
