First of all I really think you have an eye for taking photos of men. May sound weird but it is actually difficult to let a man look good without getting to "macho" or to "girlie".
A very good thing is the Black and White. it suits this photo very well. The viewer concentrates on the shaped abs, wich are great contrasted with the grey tones. Another good thing is that the white isn't a bright shiny "empty" white. It is a nice toned wich complements the composition instead of destroying the flow from the dark shades to the light shades.
The only critique point could be the nearly non visible transfer from the shirt to the background. right now he is really melting into the bg wich is clearly a point of attraction. some like it, some not. I am a bit in between, though in this photos it works for me

Thank you so much for the great crit, M! I agree with what you said about the separation between his shirt and the background.

The shot looks great Johann, the crit up here is quite right u have an eye for taking the right shot!!! At first I wasn't that convinced that the white shirt was an issue to me, but I do think she has a point that a slight more definition at the shoulders might have made him jump out a lil more. But again that is up to taste more than anything and as far as anything goes this is a super successful shot and I'd be so proud if I was the model
