This was a good idea and it would have come over very well had it not been for the left side of the jacket. I am guessing your monitor is not calibrated properly because when I turn down the brightness this image looks good and the left side of the jacket disappears into darkness which is how I guess you see it on your screen.
I don't like the use of shallow DOF here. I would much rather see the entire picture clearly. Also, I think that the backlighting may be a little strong for this photo. I like the concept and composition of it, though I would like to see more of his face.
This looks really bad on my monitor. The left side of the image looks weirdly glowing and soft focus. The other side of the jacket is overblown in the highlights and his face is out of focus. In terms of fashion, composition, style, and the look of the model it all works. It just seems to be strongly lacking in image quality.
