PS crop, levels, channel mixer, quadtone, usm, a little burning, shadow/hilite. My 5yo son Max pushed the shutter for me. Side lit with a softbox, reflector on the right, and a spot on the gloves for the shadow.

I'm surprised this only scored a 5.7 something. I liked the image but the distortion at the very top I think was a bit too extreme. Overall, I like the pose but I think I would have liked to see more of your face or cover it some more. It's sorta at that inbetween spot where you want to see more or less, if you know what I mean.
Beyond that the technicals are super. I like the b/w feel especially since this is a boxing theme. The tonal range is also good as is the detail. I think this should have scored higher especially since this was a high scoring challenge. Good luck in the future!
Wow. What a fantastic composition. It has high technical quality and conveys a bit of gloom we all imagine is a part of a boxer's life. This could be professional boxer's image on a fight card poster. Great job.
Interesting concept and good use of black and white. I like the catchlight in your left eye, but I think also having one in your right eye would help. I like the action of the pose and composition. I think looking directly into the camera also involves the viewer nicely.
