I would crop this shot about halfway from the left edge to your ear to make it a more dynamic image. Rule of thirds and all that ... 7

A decent B&W conversion and good composition. The biggest thing holding this entry back IMO is simply a lack of interest. There's no context, story or compelling expression to draw in the viewer. It looks like you've used a somewhat wide angle lens too, which is rarely flattering. Try to aim for a focal length of 70-120mm for portraits, and give your subject some context to hold the viewer's attention.
