left eye (his right) has no catch light give that eye some deadness, and a little more bounce/cross light from the left would provide some more depth to his face.

Also be very careful if you are going to process the skin to smooth it out. The cheeks, chin and forehead are too smooth for a guy and stands out when you look towards his eyebrows and corner of the nose where you did not smooth. For guys use very little smoothing, you can still clone out blemishes, but don't get rid of the texture of the face (women are a different story). Same thing with his right (our left) hand, it looks like he has makeup or some kind of shrink wrapping on his hand.

Otherwise the background, lighting and composition are pretty good (maybe just a tiny bit more of his right our left hand as it feels a bit like it's floating).

^ except the composition is doing nothing for me, this type of shot looks to me to be a candid more than a portrait. Its an un natural pose and comes across as such. On my monitor your color temperature looks way too cold.



and just one more thing popped collar......

Assassin covered everything plus more that I was going to mention. Especially the plastic skin feel.

And there's dust on your sensor
