Welcome to the forum  What was your motivation behind the piece? It's difficult to critique something that I can't rationalise.
Also it's a little small, you can post images that are 200k on the forum, any larger and you will have to link to it.

Hi, thanks for the welcome! There was a poster I saw for my University's Multimedia Convention which used the same sort of idea. The brief for my assignment was to create a piece with two contrasting opposites. I guess this was sort of Natural vs Man Made with a sort of technical twist, although i guess you could argue that people are man made too.
You can see it larger here on my blog http://scotttyzack.wordpress.com/

hi,
at first didn't understand the purpose untill your 2nd post ...
and remember that old phrase "art is in the eye of the beholder"
not quite sure if you have acheved your goal of opposites...
when i first saqe that is saw a human who brain was replace by a mindless tv set... in it self that would a opposite... but I was thinking... to make it more striking... instead of a gray screen with a spot of light (which generally say enlightement) how about a white screen with a black hole!!! bottomless pit of nothing... just my view...

The concept is great, but the color choice could be better since the orange and reds don't really add to the opposites thing you are looking for. You can take opposites one step further by using highly contrasting colors and making the difference between man and technology more pronounced. Also, the TV looks a bit squashed and lengthened so you can try fiddling with the size until it looks right.

I like it but, I'm not happy with the TV screen, I you needed to work something towards that.. Some sort of FX, right now it looks to plane...

I'd lose the drop shadows around the TV, it subtracts from the image and makes the whole image flat compared to the "pop" of the TV.

I agree with the comments about the tv. I would make it a little larger as well because now to me it looks like his hands aren't holding it properly.
And maybe you should clean it because it's dirty, as are the shoes.
