Over all you have all the right parts there more just size and shape issues.. Few areas to look at a bit more.. is the size of the neck and the forarms have abit of a funny dip along front....

Find some muscle reference... It will hep you out a lot seeing how the muscles bend and shape along the body..

I know im not as good as Kurt is but one thing i've been noticing is how sharp your muscles are. I haven't really seen anyone with pectorial muscles that come in that sharply and then break off to the abdomen muscles. Looking awesome though, those legs are top notch too! I love how the muscles work around the kneecap.

EDIT

I previously said your top abdomen muscles are too close.. but i was thinking of something else. Usually the top abdomen muscles are closer in, more ball like, then it spreads out to the middle and lower abdominal muscles which spread down to the groin area. Correct me if im wrong user added image

. Duh, this is my 4th edit.... umm, its like two balls right under the pecks, then your upper abdominals, middle, and then the lower spreads out into your groin area user added image

. I bet this is so confusing user added image
