Congrats on a top 20. This is a very nicely done shot and it meets the challenge well.
Compositionally, it is well balanced, I think, between your two subjects. You also fill the frame nicely so that there is not a lot of distracting background. I do find having just the tip of his head cut off, when none of her's is, a bit distracting, but nothing terribly important.
Technically, the focus is great and the "colors" per se, are good. There is a good range of blacks and grays. In looking at it, my eyes try to make the shirt white. I'm thinking his shirt is a colored one, and that will prevent it from being white. I am by no means a craftful BW person, but in looking at the *really really really* good ones, there will be some definite black and some definite whites. Also, the rose is almost un-noticeable. In color, it would probably really add (though I think BW was an EXCELLENT choice), but in bw, it kinda fades away, and at first glance, I thought it was another arm from somewhere. Perhaps if he had been stroking her face as she was his. . .
Still, a great shot.
If I need to further clarify anything, please feel free to contact me.
