Your beauty dish is too high up, it is causing the bags under the eyes to be more prominent because of the dark shadow it throws under them. (Since there is no reflector to lighten up those undereye shadows, they are very dark.) Perhaps that is the look you were going for though, I don't know. Being up so high, it is also causing any catchlights to be half obscured by the eyelids. That said, the focus is sharp and I love the tight crop and composition, as well as his expression!
