Awwww. . .I just stumbled across this when I was looking thru your portfolio trying to see if I could tell who that stunning little girl was. :( It makes me so sad. Especially his comment after the challenge!
Charlene, Charlene, Charlene - What a handsome gentleman (Jon paid me to type that). A nice relaxed face, good eyes, but the lighting seems to be better on the background wall than on Jon's face. About the background, the lines seem to pull my eye towards his forehead rather than his face.
Ouch, the background is almost more present than your subject here,
A pity, the portrait itself is not bad, you should use much more DOF (or choose another place for shooting...)
