Grant,
I like this portrait and the black and white conversion you have used. The light seems to be spot on. Some people may not like the angled view but I think in here it helps to fill the frame very well.

If I was picky I'd point out:
1. with the uniform background you could have safely increased the DOF
2. I personally dislike people constantly showing V of FO finger symbols, however once you've decided to include it you should have made sure whole hand is in the frame and possibly in focus (see #1)
3. In this particular case I'd make some post processing effort and mask out the bench or whatever he is sitting on out.

Great light! Like the angle! Love the conversion!

I would also remove the dark curved line in the upper right.

Nice candid shot, nice lighting, and nice expression. Definitely captures his personality (and I don't even know him!).
