You don't need to post such gigantic images. The forum has a built-in zoom function.
I think the angle of the figure is unclear. The head (and no neck) make it look like an overhead view, but the chest has lats visible which is more of a front view.
It might be better to use a mid-tone background (like gray 127). Using a white bakcground can throw your values off.

Alright here's the edit
Edit: (http://i49.tinypic.com/67t5rm.png)
I kind of got lost at when tourist said the angle is unclear, so i got confused. But I tried to get what he saying and I came up with a neck and tried to make it front view.

Tried to define the form/add volume using the colors you had, but still needs color/contrast adjustments. Also shortened it by like 2-3 pixels on the y axis 'cause he's way too tall, it may still have anatomy issues, specifically the face/head. (http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8364/ldjdjd.png) Could really benefit from selective outlining, and aa.

That one pixel in his crotch. It gives the impression of him having female genitals. Is that what you wanted to convey?

Thanks Corinthian Baby for defining it. It looks better. I also changed the contrast and added outlines and a few minor changes. Btw Jad, It suppose to be a boy, but I'm going to be covering that with shorts or boxers maybe. Anyways, here's the edit: (http://i49.tinypic.com/ercrbs.png)
Btw, if anyone was wondering, I'm kind of new to making humans. >:(

Again, New here so don't know bump intervals, if there is one please tell me ;). But, I still need some help one the facial/head anatomy I think( Corinthian Baby said, And He's a pretty good artists so I believe him xD) Not that I don't believe not so great artist, but I think he has good advice. So Yeah, would love some help or if anyone has any kind of crits about the coloring/contrast.
