I don't use any actions for my black & White so it's a learning process. I have learned that textures are very important especially in black and white images, contrast is very important too.
There was very little available light, I used the 50 mm 1.4 and 800 ISO. It's a great lens but at that aperture the image can get a little soft. At least her eyes are sharp.
I revisited an old one from Boston Massachusetts.
