About the Image(s)

I was hunting for some pictures to fit an AV sequence and accidentally found this one taken at a PSA conference in 2017. I rather liked the pose and the straight look and I’ve never used this one before. I converted to mono and then took out the ‘devil’ horns which seemed to grow out of her hair- the backdrop was clearly a bit intrusive. I decided the ordinary lighting wasn’t really going to make the most of her looks so I tried Silverefex and chose none of the portrait settings but a street one, which emphasised the contrast. I’m not sure whether it works because it has made her skin very harsh. I tried improving this by going to Filter and reduce noise, which is better but still too much detail. Any suggestions welcome. I suppose I could have simply increased the overall contrast and not used Nik. I like the harder lighting but it has also put a heavy shadow on her chest. I cropped slightly both the top and the bottom. Does this work?
