    Technically, you've nailed it. The exposure is spot on, great lighting, good composition. The only thing that bothers me is his expression which seems angry. It seems totally unsuited to the image.

    Focus and exposure on the man are right on and I have no problem with the expression and the eyes are good too. It looks like perhaps he is thinking about something that he has read.

    I would suggest a slightly wider focal length or smaller f stop to sharpen the book a little more.

    I agree with Tirediron.... the expression seems unrelated to the book... it looks more of murderous nature.... chilling....

    looks like he must be reading that "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" hit from the late 90's..lol..

    technically it is obvious the shot has been aced
