It would also nice and helps people receive CC better if you balance a negative with a positive such as "Well the lighting is nice, but the composition just isn't doing it for me, maybe try moving the subjects face to the left a few inches." or "I like the composition overall, but the busy background distracts me from the subject's face.'

IMHO, I think you can come up with something more creative if you're using my image. I looked at it in B & W, in cyanotype and several other varieties. I have another one which is done in B & W - with several tonal adjustments and modifications. Simply desaturating an image doesn't really demonstrate too much creativity. One word doesn't quite follow the intent of the rules.
