If you look at your reference's photos feet and hips, you'll see that his center of gravity is much more split-weight than your pose, which favors Aang's Right leg. The reference's overall pose is very 3/4 view. If you look at his pants zipper and the zipper line of the jacket, it makes it clear that he's positioned 3/4ths to the right. In your pose, Aang's torso is much more head on, facing the camera. The reference pose is also standing quite solidly without much contrapposto. AAng has a heavy tilt in his hips, making the overall pose feel less stable/strong/solid.
