I added a texture.. I couldn't resist!!! I hope i did it tastefully.

I was practicing my shortlighting a bit and i thought this picture hand a chance at being cool.

It works alright but I don't think this is the most flattering angle of this gentleman. He has a double chin and it is being displayed in all its angular glory. His hair is also melting into the background--I kind of want to see more separation on his bangs at least. He is basically profile to the camera but his body is almost square to the camera, from that he lacks diagonals that I think would improve the image.
