Color to Grayscale...and the Beauty of Dynamic Range

Originally I dumped this image because the lighting was crap. It was the second shot of the shoot, and I was still adjusting. But, going back through the shoot I thought I would attempt pulling the darks up..and converting to black and white. Also added texture to the wall. Camera: Canon 5D MkIII, f/2.8, 1/200, ISO 200, 200mm. Critique welcomed.

I like the B&W conversion, pretty model and nice pose. The eyes, especially the lids seem too bright. The texture on the wall makes the model more defined, although the halo on the model's left arm (camera right) seems hot to me.

Thanks for your constructive comments Stan, much appreciated!
