you should try and get your images as large as possible and as large a file size as possible, I have found that smaller images than 640 will often get docked points not on the merit of the photo but the size of the image. Here is a link to the photoshop tutorial on this site. I hope it helps. Your image looks great and I like the black and white I just wish it is larger
i love this photo, but one thing bothers me, it is not in good lighting, and you really have to look hard to see all the elements, a bit to dark for my taste, though i know you prolly were going for that extra something to make it have more an impact, perhaps lightening this up a tad would help it, just the same it did catch my eye, and it is desolate.

The first thing that strikes me about this image is that it is way too dark.
comp ok, blacks too deep, whites just not there. In a b&w pix, to be convincing, you need to have texture in your pure blacks and pure whites. Overall, it is hard for me to give a proper critique on the lighting, dof and texture due to the underexposed image.
Always take the time to experiment with exposure even if it takes a couple of days to get it right.
These challenges are not a race to see who can upload an image first, but to see who has a handle on their forethought, and settings of the machine.
