Good job Samuel.
You have some sharpness issues that hurt your output.
Captioning is very good.
You need to drop off the focus for the background by use of aperture (and perhaps using the telephoto end of your zoom). Why? The background cloth is way too sharp. We can see the “folds” and the seams. Distracting. Background is supposed to be exactly that…a background. Sharpness implies importance.
Good job but don’t leave details for a knowing viewer to pick at.
