Something's happening to the skin around the eyes and nose...looks glassy? The smoke is distracting only to the point that I had to look for a moment or two to decided what was happening to the cheek, but now that I've "got it" it's okay.
Intense and nice dof. I find something distracting about the highlights - especially on his right cheek - it's hard to see where the cloth and his cheek start and stop and that just feels weird.
I am a little disturbed by the strong flash. Could have been a great shot using just available light (or ever so slightly some fill flash). But here the flash is flattening the face and creating strong, unwanted reflections.
now this could be an more awesome shot than it already is had the life been less harsh. I understand you were outside and controling the sun is hard hehe. Maybe a slightly faster shutter speed?
I bet your dissapointed theway the image has come out on the screen because its an excellent photo and the way its been reduced leaves large flat areas.
I hope you still do well and I am sure you will
