Okay, i'll try that out!
I also think you should remove the wart on the nose and the pimples
on the chin, since this is obviously a portrait, not a news
photograph.
Heh. That's not a wart, actually. It's a piercing. :)
The BW version shows way too much contrast with no shadow detail
and burned highlights. Improving the color version before you
convert will yield a better BW version. The noise doesn't add
anything IMHO. Sorry I can't be more positive, but keep working on it.

Okay, thanks for your advice! I think I'll just re-shoot the photo
for a bit more focus/dof and a better angle. Then I'l start again.
