Greetings from the Critique Club!
This image was already discussed in the forums, so I have little new to add here. The tones are interesting, though a little washy, and I never thought I'd see someone in India wearing a parka/anorak! I do have to admit that does throw me off a little as I'm expecting to see him in more traditional clothing, but ah well.
The unlevel horizon distracts from your subject; the blown-out part of his beard on the left is an additional distraction. Shooting at a slow speed while having the ISO jacked up to somewhat ridiculously high levels - it IS daylight after all, your subject is just a few feet away; ISO 200 to possibly 400 should have been perfectly fine. Then you could have had more dof and a faster shutter speed, which would have added more tones to your subject. Composition is a little on the safe side, with the subject centred and head-on to the camera.
Not a bad image by any means, but you may want to pay a little more attention to your settings and the light especially when shooting in ambient misty light like this.
Hope this has been helpful.
