Thanks everyone for your comments. I am really surprised that 1. so many people gave it below a three, and that 2. so many people gave it a nine or ten.
For me personally, this is one of my favorite pictures that I've ever taken. Maybe it could've used a little less green, but I've played with it a lot and been very happy with it in many incarnations. And I had to pick one :) I definitely felt it was better with a little color as opposed to black and white, but also that full color detracted from the shot.
I like the way you've use the space of the shot to contain the subject - like he's in a box. The background could do with being slightly darker - you can just see some folds. But his is a nice shot - well done.
While nude males don't attract me at all, I do think that you have made a very good and tasteful image. The choice of colors is great. The composition is wonderful. It almost looks as though you're trapped between the borders of the photo. One of my favorites this week. (8)
Saw similar pose in Julia Margaret Cameron exhibition recently - this is equally interesting. I like the lighting too. Focus seems soft at left side?

I think a portrait should reveal some character, or emotion of the model, by showing expression in eyes or other facial features. Did your picture accomplish that?
Yes it did.
artistic/creativity? Nicely composed
the color of your skin is yellow, and the background is not black 100%... you should have adjusted your camera for this kind of light, and use another aperture and speed..(
