I like the framing of the trees and the composition. Something I have learnt on DPC is that it generally scores better if the subject is a bit lighter than the surroundings because the eye is drawn towards lighter objects. Your sky is a little too bright and maybe takes some of the emphasis off of the person. I do understand that the scene you photographed is quite difficult especially under basic editing because of the bright sky and also the darker shadows. Keep it up - I see potential!
This would have made an extremely wonderful shot had it been just a bit more low-key, in gray scale. I like the message and the framing, the shadows are nice. Not sure about the sunglasses, but I like the boots and the soccer ball.
