I like the brush strokes here, gives a nice mood. Instantly reminds me of 'the picture of Dorian Gray'.

I love that story...sorry, started to ramble there! :)

What I like best is the bottom part of the reflection and I like the values of grey. What bothers me is the shaded area in his armpit and on his forearm. The shirts wrinkles look a bit weird in that place. On the arm I think it would look better if you brightened up the shade a bit to blend it more with the rest of the arm.

And if that is his reflection and not some spectre in the mirror I would suggest adding some hair to its head to tie them together.
