The composition is very static, both the guy and the hand are almost parallel to the edges of the canvas.
I'm not entirely sure whats going on in the piece, is he trying to steal the gem? If so, he needs to not look so bored! I also think that you should switch the arm he's reaching with, don't have his arm crossing over his body, it doesn't make for a very clear silhouette.
Also just a thought, maybe you could try a 16:9 format to make it look more cinematic, your painting looks like it could be a scene from a movie.
