I had limited lighting, my gear was a basic 43mm prime lens, K1, and a 540z Speedlite.
I think I did ok

You did more than OK, it has a rock star mood and is well lit. TFS

Excellent shot.

Rock is often about mood and attitude, and you captured both with this image.

Working through the many B/W filters was the biggest challenge for me - I ended up with neutral B/W

Good choice in my eyes. The B&W rendering could be improved though: I'm not sure where in the processing, but the skin on her torso is overly smooth in one place and apparently digital artifacts in others, which I noticed when I tried to figure out why some areas still appear non-neutral by nature of their texture.

I did notice that when I was post-processing while investigating further, I did not have appropriate lighting as stated in my original post, so the way the harsh light was bouncing and blowing out whites impacted how Lightroom and Topaz restructured those areas with the highlights. You have a sharp eye! Thanks for the feedback
