Greetings fellow CC member!
So first things first: Your shot meets the challenge well, with a number of different black objects. You’ve also got a variety of shades of black, which I think really is really good. Regarding the variety of hues, however, I think that things might be improved a bit by lowering the exposure just a tad to make the shadows and crenulations on the coat more prominent. I’m also left wanting to see the bottom of the hand and the cuff. This is rather minor though, and what probably is the most distracting to me is the blurring on the backside of the hand, as noted by others. I like the shot though, and also that it isn’t a complete studio stock shot, which are fine, but I enjoy some variety as well.
