for me the focal is too blurred, also the background is a bit monotone, it needs more effects. and the green behind the text is another no for me.
I disagree on it needing more effects. I think it has some potential, but you need to sharpen the focul and change the text to something more fresh and not so artsy. Also, the green on his face is no good, if you can erase it, I would recommend doin' it. Still, not a bad start just tweak it a bit.
