>>2980734i pretty noob so take what a say with a grain of salt (or completely ignore it). when i first saw the image the guy looked interesting but there was somehting off about it. after looking at it a bit closer i guess he looks a bit cartoony with all the blown highlights so it looks a bit weird when combined with a fairly normal looking background. i had to try cropping it so that there was no background and no face to see it. i dont know if blurring the background out will help but maybe you can try a really tight crop around the guy to minimise the background?
pic related btw
