Beautiful setting and interesting subject which, unfortunately, becomes an unnecessarily static image by its center placement. When a subject is looking in a given direction, don't we long to see more of what he's looking at (that side of the image) and less of what is behind? Fortunately, this can be improved with a crop. (Perhaps this image is already a crop of the full frame?)
