Nice shot. As you say, it has potential. Jeff's shown you how it's done, so I won't repeat the advice.
One thing I would say (and I'm as guilty of this as the next person), use the screen on the back of your camera to review your shots. You can reshoot if you know at the time that it's wrong, but can't always go back for a second go at a later date.

V1 is actually best. I would simply try the burning in tool on the figure at a high nmagnification, but all you need is to lighten him.
Otherwise, I look at the geese. They are the brightest highlights in the picture along with the disturbed water and I would get rid of them. The picture IS the man - then he needs to be walking into the frame rather than out of it.

Agree with the previous comment by focus_man ,where the subject is leaving rather than entering the picture, and also the main point of interest is the man walking out of the water and therefore less of the remaining scene seems to work better. Included a mod , flipped the man so he seems to walk into the scene, cropped and cloned out some distractions on the steps, also added some filters for a bit more punch. Hope this helps.
