If you had adjusted the blue down just a bit in post processing this would have looked like it was truly a B&W (Not sure if that is legal for this challenge). I consider this a minor issue and have rated this in my top 10.

Try to use a noise filter next time. Good idea!

A unique capture (love the hair) with great composition.
Tones are beautiful and the catchlights are perfect. Great job!
You need to frame this one!

Almost in focus. Sorry - couldn't resist.

Seriously - in focus and a little brighter, and I'd vote this much higher.

Given the current shot, I'm guessing you were inside, holding the camera in your hand. If so, try to brace yourself against something solid.

Another option is to set the exposure to about -1. That'll reduce the time the shutter's open, which should reduce the blur, and you can brighten in software later.
