Nice, clean jawline from pierced ear to cleft chin. Good choice of lighting to smooth out the skin tone, with just enough contrast to give it character.

Ditto the comments. Strong expression, nice composition. A really terrific expression. - CameraShy09

This is just great, Michael. You've certainly captured the visage of a tough guy in this portrait.

I echo Shu's sentiment. Such a simple thing as a toothpick speaks volumes in a shot like this. Cool character and strong body language here.
