This one has interest, and an interesting context (sort of sterile, but that is different in itself), but you may be too far away from the subject to show enough facial expression and hence mood to make it work. I'm guessing that if you cropped in very close to only show him that it would be a more effective shot... even at the expense of the background.

I can see the expression on his face fairly clearly, you might add a close up of just him along with this picture to give it the context GB1 was talking about.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO what a ride!
I wish I could find something to critique your photo's Tuna, but I can't
FWIW, I think you are close enough to see the persons expression

George Zimbel: Digital diahhrea is a disease for which there is a simple cure. Take one frame of a scene. It is exquisite training for your eye and your brain. Try it for a month. Then try it for another month…then try it for another month…..
I love this one, I get the impression that this is a hospital and that the subject has recieved news of a grave illness or lost someone very close to him and is wondering what happens next in life.
The additional chairs leaving him on his own adds to the loneliness.
Your composition is perfect as are the tones adding to the mood.

What I love about your work (besides the work itself) is the responses your images engender. Clearly, you make people think and react in certain ways. I find that wonderful, and a great indicator that you're doing something right.
Not to nipick, but I can only imagine the composition would read better if you moved a few steps to your right and framed the man with the alcove right behind him. I think the darker tones would have made him pop, and it would have removed him from the large tree on the right, which distracts from him a bit. For whatever that's worth...
