Looks beheaded and therefore is too literal (no heads). I think a generous cropping all the way down to the 4th button would have greatly benefitted this lovely picture.

The subject has to much space at the back in my opinion.

If you're at the Vatican, those were designed by someone *very* famous ; )
As for the image, I think the background is very distracting. I would have cropped off at least the bottom quarter, since it doesn't tell us anything we don't already know, then I would have used a much shallower depth of field to blur out the background. I don't even think it would be necessary to keep the whole subject in focus here; you could focus on just one aspect of the crazy fashion (the buttons and the belt buckle, for example) and blur the rest so you can make sure the image has a very prominent/specific focus (which would also give the image a more specific message--which specific part of the outfit would the fashion police arrest him for?).
