nice pic.. thank you for not taking a screen grab and redoing. This is your own take, even it its based on a screen. I just cant don't like the pics that almost look like screenshot paintovers.

looks good overall, but the right hand looks strange, especially the thumb

The mood and the lighting are really good. I like the rendering of the face as well but the arms and hands are not proportionate and also the bottom of the trench coat flares out only below the waist making it look odd...kind of like a skirt or something. One thing that helps is reducing the pics size significantly while you are working...to about the size of a baseball card on your monitor. If you do that you will be able to see that the arms are too long and the hands aren't right, etc.... Great job though man I only give you crits so that it can be made better because it's a very interesting image so far!

If that is a paint over it would look more proportional even if he stylised it.
Not to mention people are pointing out that the hand looks strange as an example.

Stan, the hand on the left needs to have longer fingers and making the knuckles visible will be a good idea as well. Perhaps it would look even better if the thumb was foreshortened.

Love the face, very sharp and angular, only the highlight on the right lense looks out of place. I don't think the trench looks that bad, (Perhaps he's pulling a Maryln Monroe?) but I agree with what was said about his hands. Oh, yes, and its even better because it doesn't look much like Keanu Reeves:D .
