This is a great portrait! It looks as if you caught him be surprise and he is not posing but looks surprised and anoyed by your intrusion

Is that his 'serious' face 
. Certainly doesn't look hopeless to me. A good pose, surrounded by all his paraphernalia, and well-suited to the mono conversion.

I totally agree with this, Ccat. The expression captured is so natural and unposed.
I have to say I prefer the colour version here 'cos I love the 'old' colour of those prints hanging behind him
The white of the mug looks a bit bright but that's minor.

He looks a bit mean! But it's an excellent portrait, Lesley, and I wouldn't want to try to modify it 
Think both versions work well, but V2 just wins it for me

Looks like you caught him on a bad day, judging by the serious expression, Lesley!
I've done a mod to try to bring out a litle more facial detail and the sleeve and mug seemed blown. Not sure if it works, though. It has a slight blue tint that didn't show up on my screen before I uploaded it
The original in colour is very good though, with the colour of his face matching the paper bags behind him!

Nearly missed this Lesley. A very fine portrait and I particularly like the mono. The framing/comp is excellent and the sitter is totally engaging the viwer,

I don't do them either but if I did I would be happy with this. 
Think I'm out on a limb here, Lesley, as I much prefer the B and W version: a very natural pose and surprised expression.
I am no use at portraiture so would not dare offer any further comment or suggestion other than to say I think you have done a pretty fine job of this shot.
