Just a zone higher on the lighting would have given this image a better edge. Idea and pose is great.

You've got a lot of unused space on the right (the window there barely shows and doesn't do anything for the shot) and I tink you could have done a closer crop on the guy--to make it more centered.

Even though shot in the dark, light should look like light, not dark gray. Highlights needed in this photo would've made it much stronger.

i think more contrast between the person and the background is needed.
