Very nice portrait, great exposure and interesting pose. My only suggestion would be to have cropped in on either side a bit more; perhaps to the inside of either side of the bench.
Remarks: The lighting is a little harsh, lens distortion discernible, horizontal tilt too subtle for an obvious deliberation, and it all works! The laissez-faire pose certainly benefits from such a manner! -Where it doesn't so much shine (pun intended) as convincingly is by the sizable reflection in the varnish of the otherwise grand wooden bench and by some loss of detail on the lighted parts of the subject's face.
The photo appeals to me immensely. I like the classic wide-angle approach for its genre-independent
impression and its greater integration of a subject into its environment.
