Default B & W portrait

I converted to B&W unfortunately I couldnt find the original of this image for u to compare. I just wanted to ask if it works for this image, the crop, is it too tight, awkward? the sharpness? and Exposure?

Exposure 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture f/10.0

Everything was fine in this shot, conversion into black and white works very well, the controlled lightings gives more detail and contour to your model.

The only thing that I noticed is the awkward posing of the model, it will be nice if you show her left arms., In this photo, it seems that her left arm is not fully developed

This image is very well done, it is a bit awkward in the shoulders and perhaps a bit sharp all over.

but lovely conversion to B&W and the lighting is spot on.

Good job

I really love the lighting. It makes me wonder if you took shot like this where she was wearing something more classic. Not a complaint about her nice clothes, just the light and B&W, and her look have that old Hollywood feel. Pretty shot.
