Here's a general thing: Don't pose the eyes in the default, straight-out-of-the-head position. It makes for very dead expressions so as a rule just never, never do it. There are exceedingly few situations where head and eyes pointed in the exact same direction are the best solution.

 

Here are nine shots of Scarecrow with nothing posed except the the head and eyeaimer bones. (You'll have to look at it full size to see clearly)

He's looking in the same direction in each one and yet each one suggests a different nuance of thought about what he is looking at. And all of them are more alive looking than the one in the center which has both head and eyes in their default position.

 

 

Eyes that stay locked in the center look zombie-ish, offset eyes indicate a thinking, alive person.

Good start. I'd suggest moving more of his arm (rather than wrist/hand) on the word "unbelievable". I also think the emotion in the words deserve a closer camera angle.....possibly only face and shoulders.
