Since, apparently, describing how it might be done differently does not permit you to glean my thoughts on the photo, I will be more direct, and address not how you could improve the image, but what is wrong with it. This is less polite, more antagonistic, but it is apparently what you want.
Visually, your image is a jumble of elements. There is no visual center, the eye is not led anywhere and is not permitted to rest anywhere. The upper ends of the verticals run in a loose line across, roughly, everything that's interesting in the frame most notable the man's head. This leads to visual confusion, and requires the eye to expend a little effort to sort out even what's going on. The tonality is uninteresting, managing to be harsh without much drama. The clutter prevents there being any strong purely graphical drama, and using bright highlights and deep shadows to accentuate drama already present in the scene is hopeless, since there isn't any drama in the scene - the one man present seems to be completely relaxed and this is clearly the boring part of some bush-league minor construction project.
In terms of ideas, I don't get anything from this. There's a bunch of stuff in the scene, but given the complete lack of eye-leading and visual center, I can't tell what I'm supposed to be looking at. There's a house and some trees in the background, are they part of the idea, or just in-frame by accident? They're soft, but not thrown out of focus, so I get no help there. The title suggests that perhaps the point is that the man is running the machines by remote control, but there's basically nothing in the scene to support that. There's no obvious driver of the.. whatever it is, but perhaps the driver is somehow out of view. The posture of the man has some slight interest, he does seem intent on something or other near or in front of the machine to the left, but it's not clear what, and there's nothing very definite about it. He's casual enough that he could be thinking about lunch for all we know. And, frankly, so what if he's running a machine by remote control?
Emotionally I don't get any response whatsoever, other than a slight distaste. It feels slightly like a strip mall going up in the suburbs, which is an idea I find distasteful.
The only thing I can think is that this is intended as some conceptual art piece, flying in the face of convention and defying the rules. I don't like sort of thing even when it's well done, and this is not well done.
Edited To Add: Generally when something appears as generally poorly made as this, one can assume either "it's conceptual, it's too complex, and I just don't get it" or you can assume "it's just badly done". Occam's Razor dictates which one should choose, but I will delicately gloss over that result.
