A great humor take on the challenge. I think it would have easily scored higher had the lighting been better and the crop a bit tighter

Certainly makes a statement. There must be a use for this image beyond this challenge. Well done.

lol! I like that :) Having phoned up enough customer care centres, I can sympathise...
I think there might be a better way of adjusting the lighting though. I'd like to see his face lit up, so I think light coming in from top right would've helped.

Very funny! I had my boss put me on hold last week and eventually hung up; he called back 45 minutes after first putting me on hold. "He's like the thing that wouldn't shut up!" The man does not know how to get off the phone.
Picturewise, it looks like you have two lights, an overhead to the left and a window or maybe monitor on the right; this is causing the left side to look yellowed and the right is bluish. I like the highlights from the overhead, but a more even and uniform lighting & coloring would improve this a lot.
I like the composition; however in scrolling up and down I think I like it more with the top cropped so the eye sockets are about 1/3 down (cut just where the right side of the hat starts to go straight up); this also makes the overall proportions more aesthetic - or traditional/boring if you did it on purpose, but it seems too tall to me.

yellow light from the bulb to the right is distracting

great idea.. perhaps the lighting isn't ideal.. maybe should have gone with a darker background to create more contrast..
