why the pose? sorry, but he is quite unpleasant in his arrogance.

technically very well done, however.

What's the purpose of the negative space on the left? A vertical portrait would be more suitable for this shot.

I like the contrast, lighting and pose. However, I am not sure what the Landscape format gives you but dead space...
