Rock band?? This angle/lighting/clothing is very bandesque. Nice :)

I like the soft effect but it is a wee bit overpowering imo... what I mean is, the bright places on her face are just brought out too brightly with that white layer. I love her expression and the focus on her eyes is very very good. B&W works but watch bringing out those highlights. :)

The only thing I can see, is that the grass is really really green in the background and takes a bit away from the popping colours you have going in the pinwheels. This could have happened when you did a hue/sat layer.

If you are using Photoshop CS, when you do the layer, it will automatically make a layer mask. Click on the mask (the white box on the right in your layers box) and paint it over with a soft black brush.

OR, you can use the history brush. Set it to the step before the layer by clicking in the box next to that step in the history box and then just paint it over until you are happy.

OR, use the sponge tool set to desaturate and a low flow (around 10%) and paint it over with that until you are happy :)

I hope this helps.

I dunno... I kinda like the oof in this image... makes it look like one of those long lost photos my people keep digging up of each other. Sorry you are having issues, I know about the learning curve and it ticked me off for a while too. Once you get it, there will be NO stopping you I am sure :)
