This is the first of two portraits which, as much as anything else, are exercises in post-processing. Don't get me wrong, I do like them both, but it's the pp'ing that I've focussed on in preparing both of them. This one, as you can see, is somewhat more contrasty than my usual stuff (I rarely blow out the highlights), and tomorrow's is very flat in comparison. I think that both work, but will be interested to hear your thoughts.
