Used two lights for this shot...one on the right, and one on the left bouncing off a white piece of foamcore.
I converted to B&W using the channel mixer and then just played around with a couple of different layers of curves until I got something I liked, then I ran it through neat image twice on low settings....

As a portrait I like it very much, but for the theme, the lighting loses the "fashion" part. We see the person very nicely, but the eye has to work to see the rest. Does that make sense?
Absolutely the best photograph in the challenge. The lighting, the clothes, the tone, the pose, the model, all would get you an 8 from me but the look from the model makes it a 10.
I almost would like to see her head cropped off and just show her wonderful body. Don't care for her expression or the little hot spot in her eye and head right on backdrop, eyes have a dark shadow, etc.
