Hi there charles!
You shud have sat towards the left of the frame coverin those verizon yellow pages supplies for the apartment, that way i think it wud be little more undistracting and better composition wise. nevertheless good lighting in the image.
Actually I think the phone books are really ironic. There he sits all alone next to a stack of books that are filled a million contacts and people who are in a sense unattainable/ wrapped in plastic.
Plus it's fun the way the yellow repeats itself around the photo.
