Thought this would do a bit better, certainly above 6. I guess that's what you'd expect the person who took the photo to say, so...

My guess is that limited definitions of bokeh (only little circles) mixed with B/W (there seems to be a tendency among people on this site to see color shots as 'better' than B/W) got in the way.

Nice composition. But I found the photo over grainy, I wonder if this is a effect you applied purposely.
