The composition could probably be a bit better for my taste, personally. For example, my mind just seems to see things better in the 3:2 format or whatever...or as long as it's a bit wider than it is tall, it seems to help me out. Take your browser and make the top shorter, bring it down so just about 1/3 of the paper hole is showing...and it just looks much stronger to me and holds my attention and focus better.
Anyway, what I like the best is the tones...You really got a nice conversion to black and white here and in order to do that, you gotta nail the exposure, which you seem to have done perfectly.
I think what makes a nice black and white photo is the right amount of darks and lights, which in your staples, especially, they look just right.
So anyway, nice photo, nicely executed, good composition, and perfect exposure. Keep shooting bro.
