Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851)is perhaps the best-loved English Romantic artist. He became known as 'the painter of light', because of his increasing interest in briliant colours as the main constituent in his land- and seascapes. His works include water colours, oils and engravings. [The National Gallery]

Agreed with e301 re composition. I would actually crop out a good half of the photo (i mean right half), i.e. make it a "portrait", let the man be more-less in the middle, and let the sun be only visible as a reflection in the window. I think this would make this already very good photo more striking.
I quite like this - it has a degree of photographic integrity that is missing from many images around here - that is, you've kept it feeling like a photograph rather than an illustration. I'm not totally sold on this composition - perhaps the sun is too far right in frame, perhaps the car doesn't intrude enough to feel like a genuine element ... not sure.
