I think it's called Glitterati, or something like that?

Yay! Well, personally he's one of my favorite models that I've seen you use. I love the expressions he gives, and I love his eyes. I think his hair definitely works with this pic, because it's not overly styled so it looks more sexy casual. I think the only thing I'm not super happy with was the shadow on his left eye. Don't get me wrong; I love the lighting you did with him and that contrast you gave with it. It's just, personally, I'm a goner for a guy's eyes so I think it would have been just a little better if his left eye wasn't shrouded by shadow. It's also very cool how the background worked out with his outfit. All in all, I think this is a really well done photo. Have you ever considered shooting him in black and white? I would love to see what photos you could make with him using that light and shadow contrast. I'm sure it would be amazing!

Hehe, he's a great model to work with and a great guy too.
Someone else mentioned the shadows on his face as well... I'm still getting the hang of doing high lighting like this and getting proper lights in the eyes. I'll get there

Awesome! Well, if you ever start doing high contrast black and white photos I would LOVE to see them!

Since I can't write a real critique without a premium membership, can I post one here?

I just think it would look better with less shadows on his face.

Mate, his face is lit perfectly using a variation of Rembrandt lighting - [link] < check that out

Not in the least. Now I just have to pick your brains a lot.

Did you pick the wardrobe, too? It meshes so well with the background.
Beautiful photo, especially the complex lighting on the right side (our right) of his face.

Very nicely done, my only small nit pick is i'd like to see all of the light on the young man's face.
