I know it's centered and not sure about the crop but does it work?

Works for me...I would crop out some of the right but his OOF knee sticking out (up) is more of a problem for me. I would also bring up the whites a bit.

Looks cool. Is there anyway for you to turn down the highlight on his forehead?


Some cameras, some lenses

I like it. I don't know the guy, but it looks like you captured a bit of his character.

wayyyyy to much going on in the background to be a portrait,a portrait is well planned and thought out,this looks like a quick snap,blur the background as much as u can and crop out the bottle maybe just below the neck line then it might work

It was a snapshot, not a portrait. Sorry for my poor wording and thanks for the comments everyone.
