Rags this is really well done, an interesting portrait with the background still visible but out of focus it makes the man in purple stand out more!

I like the contradiction here. He is well dressed and formal while the background is dramatically less formal and well kept. There is poetry in this photo.

Powerful expression. The suit combined with the background is an interesting contrast

he looks dandy, nice in purple, because we can tell its mans purple!!! (not some other type of purple), the vignette effect helped the composition.

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Your finish for this image is perfect, the selective burning in on the edges, by whatever method you used gives the composition a nicely rounded feeling, drawing attention to the great portrait.
