The idea is good and I like the guitar behind him, but IMO there are too many distractions which make your shot messy and distract from the subject, e.g. the empty water bottles and pizza box on the table, the pile of clothes on the couch..
The background is too cluttered and it seems accidental not planned to show peace in chaos or anything like that. Try removing everything on the couch and the coffee table and get get a little closer as well.
Lovely idea and an impressibe full lotus by you subject.
A couple of thoughts -
1. the focus seems to be slightly off which will no doubt mean it gets dinged in the voting
2. The clutter on the table (water bottles, pizza box etc, actually takes away from the tranquility of the subject). It may have been better to go with a plainer backdrop and I would be interested what this would have looked like in B&W
I think I would have cropped this as a portrait orientation, keeping the guitar in at the left edge and cropping out the stuff on the table to the right. Technically a good exposure though
The pose and perhaps the guitar are fine, but everything else is very distracting. A plain white, black or colored background would be fine. Secondarily some work with the lighting would help.
