High contrast B&W portrait

Here's something a bit different from me, I think the highlights on the face are a bit too bright so I will work on that but what do you think to the idea? Does all the negative space work or does it need a tighter crop?

Re: High contrast B&W portrait

the idea is great but I would use a different type of PP.
something soft and maybe not so high contrast.
