Greetings from the Critique Club -
Let me start by saying that is one funky looking rabbit. I see what you were attempting after reading your comments but I don't remember if I got it during the challenge.
My first reaction to this image is that there doesn't seem to be a good focus to the image. Not from a technical blurry point of view but from a compositional POV. The man walking up front covers up the rabbit and doesnt seem to allow it to stand out. Had you caught him a step or two forward or backward the impact may have been greater. A split second longer could have yielded good separation on the walkers in the background as well. Right now it feels like a snapshot with no purpose. So thats my gut reaction.
From a technical perspective you have a decent b&w conversion, good variety of tones and in general good sharpness and detail. A little dodging and burning may have given more detail to your rabbit - but I love playing with Photoshop so that is my personal bent.
Kudos for stepping out of your comfort zone in submitting an image that you wouldnt normally. Taking pics of strangers can be challenging - especially with the lens you were using as that doesnt allow you much distance between your camera and the "models".
Keep working at it. Your portfolio shows a creative eye and execution.

| Lol - poor man with the thing growing out of his neck. No wonder his head is bent down. Did you do this on purpose or was it one of those lucky catches? And is it a statue or just something he was carrying around? |

| I can't wait to see the location of this shot. I swear I've seen that scary rabbit sculpture somewhere. I really like the brightness of this shot. |

| Would have loved this guy to be one stride forward so that the rabbit isn't growing out of his head. |
