Carolyn, when I covered the bottom of the jacket with my hand, the rest seemed way too busy and complicated; at the top of the picture is the busyness of his face, and at the bottom is the busyness of the train, too much for my eyes to take in. But when the jacket is uncovered it all seems to balance out for me. I like it with the whole jacket, and I like the way you've faded it.

I also like the way the curve of the jacket helps bring my eye into the picture, up his body, and through the train to his face.
