From the Critique Club:

For your first entry I think you did pretty good. The quality of this image is above a 4.85.

You did a number of things right. The eyes are sharp and are almost on the thirds line which is good. You caught a good expression. And the background is very nicely out of focus.

I think the one thing that would really improve this photo is the cropping. The almost square crop takes away. The out of focus part of his back on the right does not add much so you could crop it out and make a more rectangular image.

The overall image needs to be sharpened. In post processing it could probably also use some contrast and levels adjustments and some work on the eyes to make them 'pop'. Congratulations on your new camera. Keep up the good work.

Since nothing's really sharply focused, my eye goes to the tongue as the subject.
