Thanks CaptainC always appreciate your help. I see the white thing now that you mentioned it, will have to fix that. I did try to up the contrast but she has a really fuzzy upper lip and I had to bring it back down not to show it. I tried to lower the Structure but that softened her freckles, which I just love. I can go back and play with the control points and maybe isolate her upper lip. By the way I'm having a great time with the Nik software for B&W which you suggested, bought the whole package including the noise reduction which really helps with my wildlife photography. And the Color Efex Pro 4 which gives you the ability to lighten and darken Specific areas is off the scale, not to mention the structure adjustments to the finest detail.. Thanks again.

#1 is OK, #2 is KILLER! The head tilt, the blowing hair, the catchlights in the eyes are all just super.
My only nit to pick would be that I would clone out - or at least reduce the brightness - on whatever that white thing is over her shoulder. I might - just might - increase the contrast on #2 just a bit to bring up the highlights a little. Can't really know until I did it, but I would give it a try.
