for me this is a gallery shot, all those lines on the building are just so apealing, and the grain in the image adds to the whole feel of it.
The man on the left walking out of shot makes us wonder about where he is going and this also adds interest IMO, and of course he dark stranger in the foreground almost observing the secene on our behalf... I could go on forever lol

If this was a challenge I would give it a 10, great work.

ooooo arms folded eh, they tell us that this is an agresive stance but in fact I think it's just comfortable.
Nice capture of street life, and good use of B&W

This is simply a brilliant capture and one for her parents to hang on the wall or better still use as a prop for the father's speach at her wedding in years to come eh lol

A funny and interesting take on the challenge.
Regarding the photography here are my comments.

Watchout for distracting things in the background like the shower curtain and towel etc as it tends to
draw the eye away from the main subject.

I would be tempted to crop out the towel and more of the hand.

Also I don't know if you have photoshop but desaturating the yellow channel removes most of the shower curtain as a distraction.
Now if that curtain is actually white then you may have a white balance issue in as far as it shoild be adjusted to suit the lighting condition, ie if you were using the regular lightbulb in the room simply set it to incandescent.

Finally I don't know if you intended to use a shallow depth of field but whilst the clippers are in focus the face of the victim lol is not suficiently out of focus to suggest to me at least that this was your intention.

I had a quick play with it and am happy to send the result to you if you like.

Anyway that's my input all the best with the challenge... 6 from me
