Yes! A portrait that lets the viewer know a little something about the model... and what a fine example. What I see in this image is a guy who used to be a boxer, or who always wanted to be a boxer but never could; but he still goes out and tapes his hands and takes a few swings. I like how the lighting makes him seem to sweat and adds tension to the image. Although his posed is rather relaxed ... it makes it seem like he's taking a breather in between rounds. Something to keep in mind possible would be to do something slightly more cliche with the model having slightly more of a "gameface" on and maybe winding back to strike a blow... just a thought --- would change some of the idealism behind the image itself.
All in all, i truly admire your work and one day hope to reach your level of creativity. Keep it up!
