Great expression and crop !! B&W is a great way of dealing with what is likely to to be a distracting background in color. The light to her left side is a bit too hard, the resulting hard shadow of her nose does not work for my taste. Filling light to her right or light diffuser to her left would have helped. I am giving you a 7, would have been an 8 or 9 with better lighting.
