Back to comment: This image doesn't show a lot of personality, as it looks like you sneaked the shot and then cropped it to make a portrait. The face has a very flat look to it and I think a different B&W conversion technique would help bring out the details in her face. Take a look at this great tuitorial on B&W conversion. The focus also looks a little soft around the eyes. Did you remember to sharpen the image after downsizing it for the challenge?

well lit. good contrast and sharpness - yet it still retains a certain softness to it. Well done.

Comment by posthumous:
Is that vignetting? It looks bizarre, and works against the casual feeling of the photo.

I like the contrast, lighting and pose. However, I am not sure what the Landscape format gives you but dead space...
