Hi, frg
Nice Photo!
A different angle would get the glasses frames out of the way so, you could see the eyes better.

My 2 Cents
I really like the feel of the shot and the lighting. The shadows look great. The soft yet sharp image is striking. Tho I find my eyes being pulled to the backdrop (fan shaped lines) behind him, they are not bright enough to over power him. What I don't like is the pose and the glasses shadow under his eye. He looks startled, like he's leaning back away from a sasquatch that just walked into the room. A gentle grin, a glance off to one side, and maybe even a little closer crop would have been ideal I think. I am not trying to be critical, but the pose in this one makes or breaks it.
