Here is what I'm suggesting. Even though it is crude, I think a picture to illustrate my thoughts may help to clarify.
I radically simplified the background, enlarged the subject and altered his proportions slightly so that he might appear more "heroic" (and yes, his head is smaller). I also cropped his "problem" feet, emphasized the polo equipment next to him and played with the tent as a design feature at the top of the painting.
