Virginia, this is charming and I like his face even better than I liked the other one. Nice flesh tones and treatment of the hair, and his expression really looks alive. My only suggestion would be to widen the blue V of the vest a bit more at the bottom so that the direction of the arms and the V don't pull your eye downward and out of the picture. I think I would square the bottom of the V more and bring the arms out just a little to avoid that effect, and so that he doesn't appear to be squeezing his lower torso.
I'll bet the client adores it.
