Cloned out skin imperfections. Sharpened eyes. Desaturated color and boosted shadows with contrast setting. cropped out a small section at bottom of picture. Also, used just one flash head, which was located to the right of the subject.

I don't care for the lighting or pose on this shot. The light seems harsh and the shadow is distracting to me. Perhaps if she was farther away from the background.
I also don't like angle getting so much of the cleavage right out there type pose. The strip of carpet or whatever that is under her right arm takes away from the composition as well. I actually think a tighter crop would put the attention more on the pretty model and be more flattering.
edited to add: Thank you for your nice comment on my canyon view. My comment exchange though was for photos we perhaps didn't care for as much (and why), so that's why I did my comment on this portrait.
On second look ... I think that cropping it just below the collarbone would be a much better shot that does not have the carpet and cleavage distracting from a beautifully exposed and focused shot. I agree that her cup size is not relevent to this challenge. Don't forget that I think this is a gorgeous shot ...
Got the fan blowin'... but notice the carpet horizon line first.
Don't really need the boobs in a "B&W" Challenge. You've got a pretty model, I'd like to see the crop and focus on her face. 4
hey my name is jamie too. I don't look so much like her thought... I am sure my husband wishes I did! Anyway about the photo, I would have cropped a little more and I don't love the facial expression, but it is better than the majority in the group, 7
