So is this the repost or the first try? I really love the hair! This is a great pic. The background is nice too. I also like the suttle shading on his body. I think it would have been better though if he wasn't so close to the edge of the paper (on the left, right, and top). If you are redoing it, just give some more space around the sides.
This is actually a first try. I plan on reposting soon. I'm just looking for first impression and any need for improvements. I do agree the edges of the image are very close to him. Adding some space is certainly a must!
