Is this an ok photo?

I had to crop it more than I like. I have a tough time critiquing my own photos. I think they all look like crap usually.

Thanks,

Is it "ok"...Yes

Good enough, its going in the trash bin.

Really, that's an unanswerable question. What is the purpose of the image? A fantastic PJ image could be a terrible portrait, and vice-versa. I see it as an interesting image; there are things I would do differently, but it is definitely "okay".

If you consider comments from the peanut gallery to aid you in getting to the "next level" (lol) then here is my offering:

white balance might be off
light would work better a little higher, so it's not mostly illuminating your neck
could use a bit more on the right to define your head and shoulders
model needs to work on his pose

FWIW

Thats for the cc.

Man do not underestimate yourself, it is a fairly OK pic.
as for the improvements: A lot has been said already.

A little back-light would go a long way to stop the man from sinking into the black background.

OK for what purpose?

There's no expression in his face. This is a passport photo expression
