a slightly smaller aperture would have put both eyes in focus, a must when photographing people

Contrast is good, exposure is good, placing of subject and pose is very good. You have also found a background which is not distracting. I would change the proportions slightly by cutting off half of the dead space above the head.
I agree with the others that the focus is too shallow. I would like to see nose to eyes sharp as a minimum. If this brings the background into focus you should move the subject further away from it.
Very good photo, you should be happy with it!

great first attempt, i love the use of light and dept of field. as long as the eyes are in focus on a portrait it's halfway to being an acceptable photo. this is just my opinion but if you could have found a cleaner background instead of the poles shooting out of his head then this would be a smashing first attempt. May i ask why you chose b&w post processing?

Really? An absolute must? That renders a lot of my favourite images by others and some of my own images useless then.
This looks very good indeed to me and I would be happy with it now, never mind for my first portrait.

Let me re-phrase that, It is preferable to have the eyes i focus - particularly with a face on shot
Happy Now Gareth
