originally taken in color, i felt the b&w draws more attention to the intensity in their faces.

The lighting and monochrome conversion are good despite some imperfections in the jpg conversion. However, I'm not 'getting anything' from their expressions and can't connect emotionally with the subjects in the way I'm looking for in this challenge.
Love the cross-lighting, particularly the rim light on the left subject. The background is a little busy, and I'd like it better if the subjects were closer together (their heads, particularly).
