I'd second btezra. It's almost a relieving portrait, compared to the direct address of your others, and not so obviously tweaked in PS.

very good shot...¡¡ i think if you cut from top... i mean centering only face (eyes on top) will be great...

Nekominn says:

I think I like this crop better although Riseheart suggestion might be more flattering for him. Current crop shows his hair which tells a little bit more of the story.

Wonderful b/w processing, great picture.

Erotic may be nude but often the real allure of erotica is hidden.
I think your photo is erotic. Please present your artwork at:
