First thing I thought of is "creative" composition. Second thing I thought of is pretty extreme high contrast. In this photo the high contrast actually works pretty well. Don't know if this was staged or candid, but good eye to see it nonetheless. Good luck in the challenge.
The hair at the very top of the head looks a little 'blown', and there is a light 'V' shape in the background above his head that should be got rid of. Otherwise a nice shot.
