The nose rings are a bit distracting. I put my hand up and covered the left side of the picture, and really liked the emotion I see there. I would crop a little closer to the eye...
Really wasn't sure about this one, but the incongruity of the images finally persuaded me to put it in my top batch. Very nice photo, well executed. I think just a hint more of the mustache would have helped identify the subject and clarify the message.
