The centric composition gives this image a sort of calmness that I'd associate with the guy going to heaven or similar elating experiences. Though when I look at him with his hands on his hips, it kind of clashes with that feeling. it's more like he's expecting something.
Technically, at first glance everything fits, but looking at it in more detail, there are some small flaws that result from having the light come from behind the doors. First, the shadow on the pillars' tops doesn't fit that one-light-source situation: it suggests a second (rather strong) light source from above and behind the viewer (you can see that better in the original stock). Also from the original window stock comes the flare at the top that for this light situation feels actually too small and somehow off-center.
Another light issue I can see is the overall light colour: why is it green everywhere, even to the outer sides of the pillars if the green comes from the door? Or maybe the green doesn't come from the door, but then where does the red/brown colour in the front come from? If you had that red/brown also where the light from the door can't reach, it would make the scene more believable.
Another issue with the light in the front is, if it's not as strong as the glow from the door, (and the glow from the door doesn't reach the front or it would be green,) then the harsh shadows in the front are a bit too harsh and the light spots too light. If this section had less contrast, it would serve the light situation and simulatenously shift the viewer's focus from the floor more to the figure. Whose shadow might need to be a bit darker at its base. The figure's arms don't seem to cast a shadow at all btw.
As I said, these are all minor issues in and of themselves, but the sum of them may mean that the viewer gets a "not-quite-right"-vibe that subconsciously throws him off.
I hope this helps
