I like this piece fairly well. I think it would be a bit nicer if you added a bit more black space to the left side. Maybe double the black space, then add a little more on top of that.
What I'm thinking is that this would help to put the important things in a more pleasant area of the image. As it is, the character and the window are both a little too close to the edge, with the middle empty, so it's making my eye wander a bit too much.
Add enough black space so that if you divided the piece in three pieces vertically and in 3 pieces horizontally (think a tic-tac-tow board, stretched to fit your piece), the man's head would be where the top horizontal line and the leftmost vertical line cross each other.
This is called the rule of thirds. I'm not sure exactly why this works, but it always makes the work look better when you put important or "focal" areas along the intersections of those lines.
Nice to see some more polished stuff and not just rough sketches too. Keep working at it.

Hey, Baron!
