Looks like he could be an extra in the Sopranos

Nice portrait. Was there flash fill? Looks more like sun through light clouds.

Thanks, Greg. No fill light, rather just as you said: Nice even overcast. Great for stuff like this.

Funny you perceive that. He's a chef, worked for years at a local (somewhat "notorious") Italian steak house.

Mama Mia! PS: Concur with Greg - it is a nice 1/2 body shot. The only thing that I found a little distracting was the one very light colored plank in the fence behind him that is just to the left of his head. Tends to draw my eye away from his face. Just for grins, I did a little clone stamp work in Lightroom.
