beautiful girl Richard, beautiful eyes, may have been stronger if the highlight was on the face rather than the shoulder, this would stop the bright shoulder drawing attention away from the face

beautiful image Richard..thr BW looks good in this one.
I also bought Fred's plugin but I can do it much quicker that works for me.I think petteri actions are good but I do it this way. I tune up the colour version and then change it to BW via lab mode keeping the lightness channel, flip this to greyscale and then back to RGB.
Make a colour balance adjustment layer and slot a bit of red and yellow into the midtones and blue into the shadows or vica versa or whatever colour you want. Then give this a multiply filter which darkens the bottom copy.
Hold shift, ctrl, alt, E, while your pointer is on make new layer, bottom of layers palette. This will make a copy of all the layers without flattening them. So now you have three layers, original,adjustment layer and a layer combined of both.
Go back to the adjustment layer and lower the opacity and merge with background layer. Now I have two copies one darker and one lighter. I make a mask between the two of them and start rubbbing back into the lighter copy and playing with the opacity. I will do this until I have the play of light and darker the way I want it...It sounds a lot but it isn't. If I just want the BW shot skip out the colour adjustment layer just make a copy and give it a multiply filter ( overlay and soft light work well) and do as above....let me know how you go, rog

Composition, pose of the model, lighting, tone, are absolutely superb, Richard.
Very beautiful image. I like a lot also the expression of the model, she seems to be quite atease and relaxed in front of your camera.You captured perfectly a very appealing and captivating look in her eyes.
Absolutely superb work!

About as far from the Usefilm cheater we saw a few months ago as possible. How things change. A lovely portrait and very expressive Richard.
