 Just fooling around with my new lights...

RAW conversion, LAB lightness to grayscale, apply soft light, then overlay, clone out some bits, curves, crop, gaussian blur, quadtone, smart sharpen, save for web.

Excellent shot; I mean there are a lot of people on this site who can take a creative and excellent portrait, but the subject has a blank or wrong expression. In this shot- you prove that all is not lost- you coaxed a terrific expression and fantastically knowledgeable and intriguing look out of your model.

Something very compelling about this one. I keep coming back to it. Great look captured, perfect handling of the light (in my opinion.)

Very nice portrait. Not sure if I am getting the meaning of the title. Is it her age?

Very nicely taken - not sure how the wisps of hair will go down - but for me they make it stronger.

This beautiful portrait is marred by what appears to be some poor masking showing up as a halo around her upper back. That is really, really a drag because otherwise this is simply stunning. Lighting is super, the model delivered an enticing pose and expression, and the blowing wisp of hair is the icing on the cake.
