A guy I took a photo of with me camera.

I agree about him being on the wrong side. When composing these kinds of shots, it's not where most of the light is that dictates which side they should go, but which direction they are facing.

Putting him on the right makes him look closed-in, restricted, as if up against a wall. Put him on the right and he has plenty of space for his nose and space to "breathe out".

(I know "he" is you by the way!)

Putting them the other way can work in some circumstances when you are actually looking for the feelings I mentioned above, but a portrait like this is not one of those circumstances.

Could you maybe retouch out his safety glasses? And add a beard??? And perhaps make him look about 7 years and 6 months older??? lol

... and maybe add a big busted blonde babe on his left arm and switch the background to a desert island?

It's really not that bad. It has lighting issues but, as you said, it's natural light from an open door. The (window?) in the background needs to stay - in some form.

How about going landscape? You get more of the BG.
