A B&W conversion critique

I'm still working on doing a better job of converting images to B&W. Any thoughts on this image? The good? The bad? The ugly? Recommendations?

Nice smile, but I think you've got too much contrast in her skin, (maybe too much overall), & the bright line on her neck needs to go.

Certainly got the "pop" factor but I would agree with the previous comments about the contrast, especially where the hair meets the clothing it disappears.

Like the others have said, a little goes a long way.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't even notice the line on her neck. I guess I went overboard on the contrast because in the past I felt many of my conversions were blah and lacked contrast. I guess I need to find that happy medium. Is this version any better?

Both the hair & her face look better. I don't think that lighting is very flattering on her, though.
