Julie, I'm so impressed! Not only is this a masterful portrait, the landscape behind it is magnificent.
First, the figure. I like how he's looking of, not at the viewer, but at something else, maybe his surroundings or maybe he's deep in thought and just gazing absently. The light and shadow colors and values on his skin are just right! I also love the placement of the figure.
As for the landscape, again the colors and values are extraordinarily true -to-life. The colors are harmonious with the figure, but subdued so that the figure stands out. It appears to be a particular place, but you have not given in to too much detail. The rock he's standing on is a great lead-in to the water and shore.
A work of art!
