Very nice capture of expression and the black and white work well for this photo.
Your biggest problem here is the graininess. It doesn't add to the portrait but rather takes away. I
The other issue I notice is the glare in the glasses it seems to make both eyes look like two holes rather than eyes.
Its little things that make the difference in scores and this is a prime example of the little things. Your composition is good and your choice of black and white work well but it was the little things that hurt you.
