The idea behind the photo is very nice....composition is good and the crop is ok as well.....
technically speaking though, the light on the phone and the receiver is too harsh. The phone itself is blown out and there is loss of detail. The glare on the phone is producing a white so white that your camera can't reproduce it (in other words, it's outside your dynamic range) and you're getting some blooming (the blue fringe around the glare).
However, the hand seems to be properly exposed. Mess around with different exposures and change your lighting until the entire scene is as well exposed as the hand.
You also seem to have some jaggies on the phone, probably also caused by overexposure and possibly the file size being too small.
I do disagree with a previous answer in that the phone receiver is ok where it is. I kinda like that it's outside the depth of field range and is blurred. I feel like it fits the theme of the photo....
hope this helps....

Before asking the question how you can improve the photo, what was your intention or theme behind the image? The theme to me is reaching out for help, since the primary focus of the image is focused on the phone.

I think it's a powerful shot. Tells the story without a lot of extra elements. The only thing I would suggest is lowering the contrast and seeing if you like that better. It's a subjective call, you may prefer it just like it is.

Actually, that looks pretty good. Have you tried a desat/greyscale to see what it'd look like in b&w? Might want to move the receiver back towards the hand, just a bit. But still a good shot.

Try more depth of field to get everything in focus (or not.) Changing it to black & white might make it have more impact. You could change the angle of the shot so the viewer's eyes don't wander around so much before understanding the message.

it looks great, but i think the telephone looks blown out. I'd bring down the brightness just a touch, bring back some of the yellow hue.

crop a little on top and bottom to make more of panaramic... forcing the eye to scan the entire frame to "get the picture".
excellent metaphor... forget the bag...

I dunno...a bag is good but a match or a bonfire might be better.

I agree a bag.
