Greetings from the Critique Club!
I gave this a 5 during voting, mostly because it is well exposed and meets the challenge in that you did use HDR effectively to pull detail out, and it is in BW as stipulated. From your settings I'm guessing you used a tripod, which is perfect for subjects like this.
The main problem with this image is the background clutter of the trees in the park around the tank, and the very, very tight crop on the top left at the end of the gun barrel. The tree underneath the barrel obliterates the line there, and the one further back looks like it's growing from the top of the conning tower (I think that's the right word). Second, with that ultra-tight crop, it looks like the barrel is about to bash into the edge of the photo, and that sudden sense of stopping is just too much.
But it's a good honest attempt, and I do hope you keep on shooting and entering here!
Feel free to PM me with any questions
