I'm a mile from being an expert of portraits...
but I can sure welcome you and tell you that I think your first post is excellent.

Welcome! A very nice start.

Two things - It's a bit dark but that's fine. But you do have light hitting the background off to viewer's right. I'd be tempted to clone all of that to dark.

Another way to improve this is to get catchlights in the eyes, or at least one of them.

Keep posting.

Very nice first post. I like the dark look. I agree with Jim about the background. A tight crop would also solve this.

Your whites or lightest grays look flat. This picture should jump

I'll agree with others about the background. The light coming off the edge of the chair is, for me, very distracting. Other than that, I like the amount of light on the subjects face.
