Nice gaze, but the background kinda takes away focus on the face and the soft focus everywhere but his nose kind of brings attention only to his nose area. Wondering if perhaps, you were a little too close to his face while shooting and perhaps, that's what kind of gives this "fish bowl" look to his face???? (sorry, no offense meant in that term. Just no better way to describe it.) I've done that and it's hard to get a correct distance and still maintain a good shot and clarity. Still working on that myself!
Nice pic but something was bothering me about it and I think it is softness of the pic from around the subjects chin and forehead. The eyes are nice and sharp. It is focus intense right in the center. Just an opinion. Still nice work and good luck.
