Have you smoothed the skin? it looks pretty good but it might be over done slightly on the cheeks and more prominenetly on the nose. Otherwise, looks fine.

Id love to see a mono version of this, mainly because the background isn't great.
Sure thing Luke....

It looks good in bw, now you need to create some background separation (2 ways: light the background behind her, or light the hair from the back)

No, I think it's fine - a good shot and the skin tones aren't overdone... quite easy to go mad when you start off with something like Imagenomic. Not so keen on the B&W - it loses what little separation you have between subject and background, but maybe that's the whole idea of it? I think the B&W needs more tone and sharpness in it....

IMO, yes it's overdone. The smoothing is too obvious. The poor girl has no pores!
If you still have the original then a good way to lower the intensity of the effect is to open the original image and then paste a copy of the edited version into a new layer and then lower the opacity of that layer until you get a good blend of the processed version with the original skin texture showing through.
