Not trying to jump on a bandwagon, but I'll have to agree with the majority here. Among the items of distraction are the glass of tea, the red shoelaces, and the 1980 Ray Ban sunglasses. Yes I know they are back in style but the darkness of the photo doesn't "call" for sunglasses. Try going to a park, and him hanging from some monkey bars, Chest up shot. or This same shot, minus sunglasses and some lighting on your right to help remove the shadows. PS everything in the frame B&W but his shirt. It will definately stand out then.
