I like the crop, though I have to say I don't find the pose very flattering. Would have also been nice to get just a tiny bit of light in his right eye.
nice capture. somehow, if he were my brother, i don't think i'd trust him for a minute (well, unless we were in a fight with someone else). you certainly have captured a personality here. good job, and thanks for sharing. good luck with this and the challenges yet to come!
He looks like an elf - great portrait. Are commenters suggestion that you remove the lettering on his sweatshirt? I kind of like it there - Everyone wears logod sweatshirts.
Not a bad shot, but the pose here is perhaps a little too contrived for this to be completely successful. Also would like a little more light around the eyes. Other than that this is a technically solid shot.
