Needs direction. The trees shadow on the left doesnt help, nor does the white line and difference in color of concrete. find a solid surace and try again. also yourself just standing there doesnt do much either, try bending over with the camera to make it more dramatic.
Personally, I would've preferred if your whole head was in the pic, and the white line and shadows in the top right corner were not. But that's just my opinion.
Got all the camera/tripod, what happened to the top of your head? Were you going for something special? (Sorry, I don't see it) Great photo, good focus, etc, but lacks interest, reason to want to view again. (I heard this in a BAD movie - "Thrill Me!" {it was a police detective answering a phone}) Photo 7 Creativity 5 Shadows 7 total 6
I had a heck of a time staying out of my own shot... your idea is an effective alternative. I wish you were totally in frame here, and the parking stripe at the upper right is a distraction.
