In response to some feedback the vertical bar that was lighter than the rest seemed to chop the image in half so I have darkened it. There was a stray defocused hair that I have removed using PS CS6 Content Aware Fill. I have also added contrast to give the image more punch.

I was going to mention that Ian but did not want to appear picky.

It's a very nice what we used to call a F4 portrait shot.

For me and this is purely from a personnel point of view I would have used some negative clarity just on the skin tones of the main subject as the B&W conversion and extra contrast has accentuated the skin detail perhaps a tad to much.

Completely agree - indeed I did apply negative sharpening to part of her face but I was perhaps not aggressive enough.
