Interesting speed challenge. While this has been done IV times previously, this is my first crack at it. I would have prefered to show my face but I also wanted to show some sort of expression.
R25 Rodenstock filter was mounted. Post was done in Picasa and GIMP. B&W Conversion. Contrast adjusted. Resized.

lighting is very harsh on your body and it looks like the sharpness is on the door behind you. but that might have been your intention.

Nice concept. I think the focus point could be better.

Good photo! Because this isn't meant to be a positive feeling picture, I wish the lighting wasn't so bright in certain areas. However, overall good job!
