IMHO, the image is cropped too tight. As Greg said, I would like to see more room all the way around.
I personally think the DOF is just too shallow. The sides of his cheeks and chin aren't even in focus due to the shallow DOF. Fine if you were going for a shot that just emphasized the eyes, but as others have pointed out already, even one of the eyes is out of focus.
The skin on his face looks a little too hot to me. You might want to play with the contrast or brightness of the image to bring that down a bit.
Not sure I'm okay with the asymmetry of the hood. I definitely don't like the top being cut-off.
Very nice image, but I would try multiple apertures next time to make sure your DOF is adequate.
TFS!

I really appreciate the level of thoughtful analysis. My internal criticism and unspoken questions were around whether the face is too hot and whether the disparity in focus of the eyes, related to such shallow dof, was problematic. Impressionistically I and my family are all more than pleased, but I agree the image could have been better.
Thx!
