A good effort and a nice concept. I would prefer to see the man at the right of frame. This emphasizes the distance he must walk. I would probably crop it below the bright sky area. The overall mood is dreary. Keep the bright sky out of it. A bit less contrast would be helpful. There is no detail in the dark suit the man is wearing or in the white bag he is carrying. A nitpick to be sure, but hopefully something to think about. But overall this is a solid execution. You demonstrate a good sense of what makes for an interesting photo. Let's see more!
