There's a lot of information loss on his hair and shirt. The subject's got the right exposure, try masking him out and giving only the background contrast. Post-proc aside, the second crop doesn't work as well as the first one. He appears to be hunched over, rather than leaning on something. Nice picture though, where's it taken?

Penthouse party in Vegas @ the AVNs. It's the best picture I have of me from the whole week so I wanted to do something nice with it and maybe print it. I don't usually have pictures of me taken, usually the other way around. :3:
