Perfect! The edit makes the image much more convincing for me, especially considering the black background. I feel bad for causing you extra effort. 😛

You could definitely have left the original image alone and gotten away with it – as there’s nothing wrong with it at all – but I feel the edit gives a much more ‘realistic’ impression of him emerging from the shadows; makes the sword look extra awesome as the primary light source; and makes the eyes look more menacing, as I’d hoped.
I’d even say that it makes his skin colour/face look creepier, too.

Great job, dude.
