I feel there is to much space over his head, I would crop just below the light fixture.
The angle of this shot is great, the stuff in the background is supporting the story, without being to much clutter, The colorful belt thing is not demanding attention quite as much.
I would take his hand out of his pocket and placed it on the other one. It is to straight to me and really emphasizes that the jacket looks to big for him. Probably very comfortable for him though.
The biggest issue with this shot is the blown out reflection in the mirror behind his head. His shoulder disappears into the brightness.
A little more fill on the right side of his face might have balanced the light a little better. Its hot on one side and deep in shadow on the other.
If he is a friend of yours, its a great opportunity to learn. Try new angles, get some with him smiling, he looks like he would have a great smile. loosen up and have fun. Get some casual shots with the jacket off and get him to not be so stiff in front of the camera and try this shot again.

| The blow out behind him is distracting, it also takes a lot of the detail out of the shoulder. Again with this one the background is pulling away. It would help if we knew what you were trying to achieve. Was it just a portrait? Or is it supposed to be telling us about who this man is? |
