Not sure how an overprocessed B/W will do. I think it has a bit of an old movie feel to it.
Guessing this one is good for a low 5. We'll see.
Post-challenge notes:
Not bad at all for something that was almost a throw away shot and a relatively quick edit. Now if I can just figure out what I did right.

The composition is what you did right. Centered loves symmetry which you provide. However, you add in a dash of diagonal energy and you have a nice picture. It's a tough one for the rest. The image looks soft to me and that's bad, BUT it's an image that I can see would oversharpen VERY quickly so you might be stuck with it.
