The biggest problem I have is with the heavy vignette...it totally blacked out his hands..it's almost a bad as cropping at the wrists.

I agree with the vignette.

1. Composition - Good
2. Framing - Part of left hand is not in frame.
3. Exposure - The subject is exposed well, but maybe a littel underexposed.
4. Editing - I like the B/W. This might be a good example where less contrast is better for a B/W.
5 Focus - Looks good on my tiny laptop screen.

Overall good capture, thanks for posting.
