I like the composition, and in a web size the shot appears to be relatively
sharp. My biggest nit is the burned out highlight on his hand and jacket. A
stop less exposure overall would solve this and make the shot more dramatic
IMO. You might try scanning the negative and see if there's enough detail in
that area to pull it out.
