Taken while my daughter visited us from St Thomas USVI this summer. She is also in the fill the frame challenge. Typical processing with curves, b&w layer, cropped, resized, and sharpened and then saved for web.

Lovely portrait, perfect b/w conversion. Your model/daughter is very pretty and flattered by both the lighting and the bit of wind carrying her hair. To that end, I would say this picture should be domainated by her and her alone. A closer crop to really highlight the face and hair might look even better.
Both images of your daughter are very beautiful. The soft lighting has yielded excellent portraits in both color and B&W. Great keep sakes of your family.
A little too much whitening in the eyes. I would suggest after apply the whites, to play with the opacity slider to see which looks more natural. Otherwise a very nice model. 6
I like the way she is looking at me ;P, Seriously though great shot good lighting and really nice relaxed model. There are only 2 things that I can see to improve this shot both the background and the hair in front of her eye's are minor distractions. well Done.
