The man is an attractive-looking fellow, no doubt, but the horizontgal framing and the heavy vignetting distract from the overall picture. Once again, I'll get out my vertical soapbox....vertical,vertical,vertical framing on a head and shoulder portrait like this makes a lot of sense; it eliminates ugly, meaningless background, like a field of grass; it makes the overall physical head size LARGER in each frame, and it mirrors the standing, upright posture of the subject. A vertical framing is considered more "active" or more "dynamic" than a horizontal framing, which is often associated with "rest" or "contemplation"; given the male subject's youth, fitness, and active look, a vertical framing would have made this a much more successful picture.
