The Image: I can just see this plunging my average score received to the depths of despair! I really wanted to enter something and see what happens. I like the story of the bike and the fact that the guy was still wearing his helmet. I found that funny and interesting. He was lost in the moment here, along with his Greek buddies next to him.
I wish I had more space on the bottom of the composition, but it's OK. The pole is a major distraction.
The Edit: Just basic B and W conversion, some USM, Levels
Prediction: Anywhere from 5 to 6
Post: I knew I shouldn't have entered this...weak image, full of flaws...know better for next time. Actually, it's amazing I have two 10's

Great comp and capture. I'd guess that you used a channel mixer layer to convert this to B&W. I think a bit more balance on the RGB would've added more contrast to make the fisherman stand out more as opposed to the fence. Alot of potential in this shot. (only my humble, albiet lengthy, opinion)
I like the contrast and the scene overall, though I'm finding the comp isn't working for me. It may be the square crop, I don't care much for square crops. It's hard to nail this one down, though, I'm not really sure.
