Very interesting shot.
Compositionally, I think you have done well to get a symmetry shot that "looks" like symmetry but isn't exactly symmetrical. You have good details in the hands and hail balls, and the dof works well to isolate it from the background.
The black twig, or whatever, is extremely distracting. I know that it is "natural" but in a black and white shot like this, it presents itself as *the* black point and the eye is drawn to it. In advanced, you could have just cloned it out, but in basic, you would have had to remove it before you shot. Also, I don't know what process you used to convert to bw, but it lacks in tonal contrasts. Instead of being a black and white picture, it is more of a muted gray picture. If you simply convert to greyscale, sometimes it helps to adjust the contrast. If you want to try other methods of conversion, (if you don't know about them) check out the tutorials on dpc.
If I need to further explain myself or clarify what I've said, please feel free to contact me.
Best to you in future challenges.
