    As a rather late note, I hadn't seen the original when I made my suggestion. That is actually my favourite. For me, the top wave weakens the composition when cropped as you show it here, but in the original with the zigzag of rocks it rather adds to it I think.

    I find I'm looking for geometric shapes here to give the whole composition some guts - the circle bottom right, the stepped rectangles of the rocks across the centre. So I'd forget any formats that weaken those strong lines, and I'd cut off the top third just above the left hand rectangular rock to emphasize the contrast between curves and straight lines, leaving a stepped diagonal across the frame, ending in the swirling circle around the rock bottom right.

    I suggest turning the sharpening function off on camera. Then sharpen selectively, not sharpening the background at all in whatever program you use (e.g. photoshop). That way you don't sharpen and therefore emphasize any noise in the dark background.

    I can almost feel of the texture and movement. Really good work. There's a bit of a white line on the underside of the left hand. I'm not sure why that has happened (too aggressive dodging of the dark areas, perhaps?) but it doesn't destroy my enjoyment of this photo.

    I like your natural looking portraits. I like the lighting on his face. I don't really find it dark, but the ray of light across the background and the two light vertical lines framing his head do draw my attention away from the subject, so if that could be toned down I think it would improve it. I think the ambiguity of mood comes from the body language - the arm held tight across the body with only part of the arm showing, and hunched shoulders, give a feeling of reserve.
