It's the type of challenge photo that succumbs to being viewed in the context of many others. The eye tires, sometimes quick decisions are made, the mind still has the effect of the last viewed photo on board... Challenges can prevent true appreciation of photos. I suppose they are meant to single out what one prefers, after all. This photo of yours is elegant in a passive manner. I came back to appreciate it and I do appreciate it much more now that it is one its own and not with others.
I really like the simplicity and reality of this.
One I certainly would have been proud to have entered.
Back to add that after going through this challenge & the results, had to add it as a favorite. One of the best of the challenge in my opinion, and should have finished much higher than it did.
Like: great shot, almost flawless in all aspects. Great idea for b/w conversion.
dislike: The dead space on the left is sorta of distracting. Since the model is looking at the camera, there is no need for leading room. So i would have put her a little bit more to the left, but still abiding by thirds.
nice shot.

Although this seems to lack a little focus on the eyes (the lips and right eye seem sharp though), I really like this composition. I'm also glad to see it in pure black and white. 9
