Rebecca,
You have a great start on a powerful portrait. It's a nice relaxed pose with a sense of toughness and determination showing on his face. I agree with Enzie about the hand and I have copied it to Photoshop and tried some of my ideas with it. I tried working some form on the hand and on the gate. When I zoomed in on the face it appeared to me that the lower lash of his right eye may be a little too heavy. If it were to be lightened up like the left eye then I think it may help.
