Wonderful painting! I love the energy you maintain with careful forethought.

To aid in bringing more attention to the face, I would go even lighter in the background so that the greatest contrast is at his hair (on left side of canvas). Some of the clothing could then have lost edges to the background in the area of his right shoulder. The shadow side is delicious already!

I agree that his expression will hold the viewer!
