Anyone who was raised with Gary Larson will recognize this as a homage to The Far Side.
Very last minute. It was a desperate attempt to kick my ass back into using my camera again.

His right hand looks out of focus to me. Would have also liked to see mopre colour,. Maybe a different coloured shirt, as the brown shirt and wood makes the photo a little boring colour wise.

Oh, I love the Far Side comic strips, and this is one that I have always remembered. Great idea. The entire photo is a bit muddy and underexposed, lacking in contrast and punchy colors. The crop is way too tight, and the model appears to be resting against the door, and not trying to open it.
At first I thought the door was opening even though the guy is pushing. (If you can't envision that, imagine the door hinging from the right hand side, the guy would be going outside)
Nice composition, Striking catch the lines on the shirt verses the wood grain. Just try and explain to the subject what the word PULL means, it might help.
Humourous. Probably could have set it up a bit better for more effective communication of your idea (like a more straining sort of pose, pushing the door).
The door looks open, and thus does not lend itself to immovable. Color and light are flat, not sure if that was an artistic choice, but it doesn't work for me.
Nice photo. Good idea. A small detail to make this photo much much better would be to change the model's shirt. It might add an element of color or contrast to the photo.
This can be read 2 ways: he's so gifted that he can open a door the other way, or that he's stupid. Also, he's pushing OUT of the school into the outdoors, or does this mean that the school is actually the real world? Either way, he doesn't look that happy.
