Good eye, but something about the angle of the shot doesn't really work. With all those lines, maybe you could've gotten a straight on shot? Interesting subject nevertheless.

I like the angle and shawdows, maybe crop a little closer. It is a bit dark on the guy, but that is because he is sitting in the shade, which I like how it has the light coming down the right side and shows him sitting in the shadow of the building.

Great that it doesn't have any cushions, but who left that stuffed animal on there?

I like the shot, the only thing I would change is I would have used the simple rule of thirds, he is almost smack in the middle of the image. I would have maybe placed him in the lower and right third. The couch and the three layers of bricks create a nice line. I like it though.
