First:
We like the portrait as a found moment with good composition. We think the toning can perhaps be more global and less focused on the hand.
Second:
This photo could benefit from more compression and a slight crop.
Third:
We appreciate the newsworthiness of this photo. To enhance impact, this photo could work as a vertical. The quality of light can be more refined.
