+1 @ focus ... looks like the camera may have caught his hands or tassles/fringe (center point AF ), which are in a more forward plane than his eyes.
It's not so much that it can't be overcome with some PP @ selective sharpening push/pull selective blur to re-establish the focal plane somewhat.
As an image overall ... it is a bit stirring emotively @ somber expression and holding the symbolic weaponry, backdropped by the "men" that he someday aspires to become. The regality of the carpeting is also salient to the piece, imo.
Reworked a bit for illustration, which includes a slight crop. I might consider cloning out the "pole" on the left side background as well. The technical PP is easy enough, you did the important part @ capturing the essence of the image ... which comes across very clearly to me.
Will remove rework if preferred it not be presented.
