Love the ring of light behind the snow man and how it lights up the body. Sure wish the head had been included tho.
I would probably also clone out the things that are on either side of it and then also try a portrait crop so there isnt so much empty space on either side.
Cool concept, I like it

This is a nice photo. Since the light doesn't light up the head very well, you could try using one of those small LED flashlights to add some fill light. I also agree on the portrait crop to eliminate distractions. I hope this helps.
