What would you change here?

The image is high key, which is fine, but you lose his the edge of right shirt sleeve a little with the background. If this image is full size, there is nothing you can do about cropping off the bottoms of his arms. If not, I would include them. Also, his eyes, bridge of his nose and forehead are noticeably darker than the rest of his face, which gives him a kind of "raccoon" appearance. Lastly, the image looks "right heavy" to me, I would crop off some of the negative space along the left edge fo the image.

Thanks for the input so far. I redid the crop to include the arms, toned down the whites so his shirt wouldn't be lost, and cropped out a bit to his right so it wouldn't be too far to one side.

How would I go about taking care of the shadows around his eyes? Should I have used an off-camera flash here?
