Tighter shot to remove the gate enclosure in the back would have added more to the dark and damp.

the use of colors could have been more dramtic, nice one.

Flash is a bit harsh. A tighter crop, moving in from the left edge, would fill more of the frame with the subject and would also let you eliminate the strong shadow at left.

What's on his head? and the place may of been dark but do his shoes really need to almost blend into the floor

nice photo, there are some dark spots at the bottom that I'm not fond of, which is too bad

A different POV closer to the subject might have worked better here.

Nice colors and lighting. I am just not sure about the composition; the small section of background visible between the columns to the right is distracting. The centered subject looks a bit weird. (7)

This would be more engaging as a portrait if you were closer to the subject.
