Good details. The low angle enhances the composition. Wish the head was slightly turned towards you, or you could have tried to move a bit more to the right if possible to get it more parallel to the sensor. That would have increased the eye contact and also the details as presently it seems the focus is locked just after the eye on the body. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

The focus is locked on to the shoulder area as that is where the sunlight has fallen. Most of the times the autofocus locks on according to the contrast, so one needs to be careful. So in this case, the depth of field doesn't cover the full head. In such cases, using a different autofocus point or manual focus may be attempted.

This photo also reminds me of childhood days when we used to pose along the moon with the arms outstretched so that it in the image it appears as if we are touching the moon. May be this fellow is "seeking light".
