I think this is a creative shot. I'm not positive about the crop. It's a gutsy move to crop right across the eyes like that. I'd actually have to see it with more space above to judge if I like it better or not.
It seems to me there is a bit of a DOF issue. Your(?) face (if that's not you, someone must really enjoy your work...) looks like the softest part of the picture, and I'm not sure I like that since it is the place our eye is naturally drawn. The highlight on the nose and to a lesser extent the gloves is slightly blown which may add to the softness. Finally, while I can't blame the makeup artist at all (cuz I couldn't do a better job), it does seem a bit rough around the lips (the juxtaposition of the black and white). That's a nitpick, but it does take a slight polish away from the shot.
I think it was creative and you should keep using that creativity. One question was why you used a sepia filter on a B&W shot?
Nice idea. I like the way you have realized it, too. It would be interesting to know how close this is to your original idea or if the idea evolved as you went about capturing the image.
Very nicely done. I'd have preferred to see a little more of the eyes though. The crop through them takes away from the image a bit. But I really like the expression with the hands.
