It looks great as is, but if you want to push it further you might have to adjust the proportions a bit. He has very realistic proportions but his muscles are a bit over the top, he sort of looks like a short body builder and short body builders don't win mr olympia. If your reduce the size of his head a bit and change his pose so he is leaning forward instead of that super straight military stance. He'll look more impressive and intimidating, his military stance and short height makes him look a bit funny.
Here are some examples, look how tiny their heads are and how relaxed their poses are. It makes them look huge and impressive. I don't remember where I read it but I think with the head sizes these statues have they would be close to three meters tall in real life or something. The reason you would want to relax his pose is because it takes great effort for a tall person to stand erect like that, you're more likely to see them leaning forward and be more relaxed. The huge muscles would also add to their struggle for such an erect pose.

My only advice would be to make a more dynamic pose for the beauty shot
