Ok what I see as wrong in this photo Lower right is that a head? Lighting a little harsh on the flower. composition IMO I would have moved to the left to get a slightly more 1/4 view. The title...I don't usally take the title into consideration but this challenge is different.
Something like " Schools Out! Popular Teacher/Proffessor/Dean retires after 35 years" would be more in scope with a newspaper headline.

What is good, your Idea your subject,your capture of emotion.

I gave you a 6 which I gave as the average for this challenge.

Good Luck
Cheers

Glare off of his face is a bit bothersome. Colors look dull also. Saturation may have helped.
