The pawn has moved from f6.  En passant would only available if the pawn had moved two spaces from f7 in the same move.

Because he only moved 1 spot ahead, not 2.

En passant is only possible when your white pawn is on the 5th rank, and black plays his pawn 2 squares , next to your pawn. Only then the en passant rules apply.
