Hello,

You have a white balance problem!!

Nice shot. It would be good if you could have gotten a better depth. There is a white balance issue. Too much blue.

Too dark. Needs more light and less blue/purple tones.

He's quite handsome, but the frame is underexposed by .5 - .75 stops. If you lift the exposure, I think this will get accepted.

I personally feel that the image is ok. The only thing I could imagine is the soft focus.
