I'd say the values need to be tweaked overall to get some separation both within the figure and between the figure and the surroundings, but especially to give more prominence to the face as focal point. The lighting on the near leg doesn't make sense and isn't shadowed according to the light source. About the light source I think you need to think about a secondary light source coming from underneath and in front of the guy so you can get some nice underlighting going on.
Also the pose isn't right. That near leg is wrong in a few ways. The way it attaches to the pelvis doesn't seem right and the foreshortening isn't done correctly. Check the angle of the lower leg and foot in perspective compared to the ground plane and pose. Not convinced about the straight hanging arm either because it seems a tad too stiff.
The narrative isn't that clear so maybe make it clear what is going on here, otherwise it won't be as successful as an image no matter how good the rendering is.
I'd recommend fixing these before going any farther. Hope that helps
