Taken in the little time we had free (my wife adn I. She was showering and I got the idea for the shot. Had too make here freeze without any water to avoid fogging up the lens (not too mention the inner electronics). She was a great sport and played along.
PP: RAW conversion, crop, levels, curves, hue/sat, channel mixer to B/W, add noise, some more levels. Resized usm and a bitmore noise.
I tried the gothic glow filter on this but liked th emore photojournalistic look of this one.

Very nice pic, well done. I see a few comments that want the pipe removed from the photo. I disagree. I'd actually prefer to see a bit more of the pipe to give the shot a bit more context. This is not a studio shot and strives to tell a story, so elliminating enviromental elements is contradictory to its purpose.
Love the feel of this image, she looks like she could have been lost in thought for a long time...
My only niggle is the pipe on the left, slightly distracting
