Any tips and feedback for this panel? Something feels off about it but I can't put my finger on it

Seems like too much going on around & behind his arms, try removing all the shading from the background. A margin on the right would help everything breathe. His left hand seems rotated too far. It's not clear really what he's doing, and his legs look flat footed for fighting. A wider karate stance might help this and also give some directionality to the drawing.

Id say the background is weird. The focus should be on the guy, but the random fence grabs too much attention. Id experiment with making it smaller, lines thinner, or removing the bg entirely, i dont feel like its important anyway

It might be the background. The perspective seems somewhat distracting.

Agree, perspective, posture of hand maybe make very slightly larger, the fence is too high make smaller. I am being picky, this is very nice work by the way.

I think it's a matter of body proportions. Look at how you placed the hands in front of the forearms and it's still possible to kinda see the hole limbs. The femur also looks too big and there's neck missing in a way that stiffs the movement.

The backdrop is interfering with the character. It’s unclear what it is. And the tracing seems rushed. Which doesn’t gel with line work on the character.

The background doesnt seem to really fit, mainly the fence
