I love the lighting and the sepia tones. I would have tried to not crop as much (keep his head from being cut off). I was going to suggest cropped in on his face more, but then I realized that capturing his hands and the cane tells so much of the story. I love that it does tell a story.
I took a composition class over the weekend, and one thing that was mentioned was to never crop at the joints of a persons' body. I'm wondering how this would look if you opened up your cropping to include more of his legs...?
I love his expression, by the way. Makes me wonder what he's thinking... :-)
Is it critique you need? No one needs criticism. Good photo but I don't like your MASSIVE COLOURFUL thingy name thing. But I like the photo for sure.
The shoulder seams are confusing though aren't they?
The lighting is beautiful and the focus on his face is really nice. But the crop/angle just isn't workin' for me. It looks to me like he's sitting on a toilet (sorry, not trying to be a smart-a$$, that's just honestly what it looks like to me). I agree with @socalgal about the crop at the knees as well. You're definetly on the right track, just a little refinement in the composition.
Not a bad shot... but I actually agree with @chewyteeth, whats going on with his shoulders? is that the shadow or is it his jacket riding up? It confuses me near his right shoulder how it just cuts down. I personally think that if you're going to break rules, try going all out... i'd have liked to see his head near the top left and put him on a slant
