Very nice b&w! I really like it!
The only thing I would change is the crop at his chin.

Yes, very nice image quality and expressive face, but I don't like the fact that the top and low end of the head are cut off.

The crop is what makes this picture kick! Can the subject not recognize that it is he? Thanks for having a different vision, listening to a different
drumbeat. Excellent, Cosmin!

The crop is the photographers decision and does not bother me at all.
It gives tension to the picture, keeps the viewer awake, nice well done.
The only thing that bothers me a litle bit is the focus, this seems to be on the ear and not on they eyes. Lucky that the glasses hide this.

Of course, but we can say if we like it or not, can't we?
I agree to your statement about the focus. On second sight I think that the sideburns seem to be a little oversharpened.

Can I make it clear this is not a picture of me! 
If it was, I'd personally welcome the crop at top and bottom to hide my bald head and double chin.
As he's an electrician I think it would be good to give a positive comment rather than negative - I like it. |

Hello.
Thank you all very much. I was in a hurry, here too, because, I didn't want to make him wait. About the crop I want it to be a little less common portrait and beacuse of that I used this kind of composition.
After I post-it someone told me that I should look better at his glasses reflection. Yes, the legs which can be seen are mine Sorry about that.
Thank you again.
All the best.
Cosmin.
