Image captured in NEF, converted using Bibble. In bibble I desaturated, then mixed the RGB channels to achieve the balance I wanted. Used medium sharpening level, no fringe reduction. Ended up a bit harsher than I'd hoped in the highlights and shadows, but I like the overall feel.
Exported a JPG from Bibble and performed final crop / scale in GIMP. No exciting editing stories, just simple photography.
The background is a blue wall painted with Sherwin Williams suede textured paint. Makes an awesome clean background, and looks great even when I'm not photographing.

I am struck by the simple elegance and the graceful lines of this image. You use the entire value scale. I am a fan of contrast and like your use of upping the intensity of contrast in this image. It gives is a ethereal look. Beautiful.
