Interesting idea, but doesn't work because the only thing in focus -- the monitor, doesn't show enough detail to imply "success". Also, wouldn't he have colapsed in front of the monitor and not on the other side of the desk?
I like how the focus is on the computer. At first glance you think there's nothing in the background, but then you see the hand and it makes sense. Props.
I like your idea but I nearly missed the arm of the person in the back ground which corresponds with your title. I bit better lighting may have helped with that.
