the person at the bottom makes this shot. without him there is no scale at all. very cool shot with the person. without him just average.

i like your shot a lot. however, there is some room for improvement in lighting. the lighting on the face is flat.

there are a number of things that could be done to improve your picture.

lighting - the lighting is not very interesting and is casting in the same direction of the shot, which creates a flat looking image. i would try and experiment with different lighting directions.

background - the background could be improved by moving the figure further away from the cloth drop. there is nothing really wrong with the cloth, but if the figure was further from it there wouldn't be harsh black shadows casting on the cloth.

crop and perspective - i would suggest getting closer to your subject and trying to pick out what it is that interests you. once you find what it is, you can get closer on it and leave out all the other parts. also along with getting closer you could try different angles to shoot from that would create unusual views, which would in turn interest the viewer.

working on these things would improve any picture from looking like you are trying to sell something, to something more artistic.
