Just a couple immediate reactions to the image:
The space around him is over-emphasized, I feel. It also exaggerates his small size by the extra space. I like the old beat up wood and paint, but I think it could be lessened to some degree by cropping it more closely, maybe just from the top, and giving more importance to the subject.

What is he holding? Is looks like a dry leaf, but I'm not certain. He's intent on something he's holding, but it's not real clear as to what it is. If the shape were easier to read, maybe something other than a leaf...?
