Job hunting (economic depression)

Does this composition work?

Does this guy look frustrated? Just tired?

 

Thanks,

i think it at first i loved it... more i look it looks posed... i think... lots of newspaper.. clutter... would help a lot.. look more real... have some empty red bull cans.. or coffee mugs.. but.. light and composition are great... just better.. props and you have yourself a winner....when i first saw it, i was like.. wow.. that makes me tired just looking at it..

Well, hmmm.... I like the composition, i think. Although my first impression was "posed". The lighting is nice but it almost needs something else, maybe moving the sungject to look less posed or something.
