As someone with experience in black and white photography, I can see what you're trying to do. I can clearly see the areas you want emphasized and the spaces you want obscured. The overall tone and appearance is very appealing, but I can also point out somethings that would show up on a photograph. While the faces in the back would barely be visible, there should at least be some indication that it is in fact a face and not just a head with no expression. I'd say keep the details on the facial areas closer to the front the same as it is, but as you work back try to darken them so they appear as a shadow expression instead. The empty space above everyone shouldn't be grey, or at least not completely gray. If there is any source of light in this picture, the empty space should somehow indicate that. Lastly, I'd recommend putting some White in this. The only instance I see any white space in this picture is at the very top and that is only what I assume to be a light source. If that is so, then you should make it more radiant, and show more of a light aura around it to show that it is a bright object illuminating the dark space.
Overall, this piece is a very nice start. Other than faces and white space, I'd say everything else is good as is. Keep going and keep trying.

I can tell this is very early on progress. The composition looks pretty good except for the gray area on the top right side. The contrast between shapes and figures also looks great, again, with the exception of that spot that pulls the viewer in, distracting him/her from the actual composition.
The figures in the foreground make a great work on the way they are interacting with the atmosphere. The ones on the background do so too, but it's a little confusing, and hard to appreciate.
I'm unaware if this is based on something, if it has a theme, or if it cam from a reference.
(My first critique ever.)

It's not early on progress, it's a 3 value study, which is a traditional exercise to practice seeing and identifying bigger shapes and light patterns without getting hung up on details.
Considering how much more detail the figures in the foreground have they are clearly the focal point, and I don't really see how the plain gray area in the back could "pull the viewer in".

What I like about this is that there is no color.
You can't tell were these people are coming from they all made the voyage together.
