Like the eye contact.
A good pose but you need a much tighter crop for me removing most of the background distraction which is over exposed. I realise you used a wide aperture to get the background soft, but if you are going to do that you must get the focusing spot on. The head dress is sharp, the eyes softer and focus should be on the eyes.

The eye contact is fantastic, as is the depth of field. But I would favour the tighter crop - and then use the burn tool to really make that face dominant.

I've uploaded two modifications, the second is a b&w with a hint of sepia. This reminds me of 19th Century travelogue.
I think you mean Native American Indian, rather than Aboriginal, don't you?! 
Anyway, I've nothing to add to the above except to say that I think the third mod (the mono/sepia one) really hits the spot for me. It takes the feeling of it away from a modern 20th century version of the dance to something from a bygone age. And as much as that soft focus background provides a context, excluding it gives the warrior himself a far more powerful and intent demeanor.
