this is my 2 cents, take with condiment of your choice:
i am not bothered by dark pictures, especially if the darkness integrates into the "story" of the image.
in the case of your shot, i felt that because there was so little tonal variation throughout the image (ie all one shade: dark gray), the only point of interest was the picture frame. the meaning and point of the clothes wasn't at all apparent to me.
When I saw the version where I could actually see and make out the camo, it became alot more clear what was actually going on.
It's great to experiment, but I don't think it really worked in this case.
