Hi,

What would you improve in the post processing of this photo ?

I don't know if this would "improve" the image, but I'd probably burn in that light (glare?) marble/granite front to the table. I think it'd push more attention to the face.
Nice job, IMO.
Thanks for sharing.

Or you could cropy the picture and remove everything up to the bottom corner of platform on scales. That would focus attention on the woman while leaving enough detail in front to show she was doing something. It would also almost centre her face in the picture.

But that's something that I considered, I'll give it a go next time I have the time to play with it.

As Russ^ above mentioned, cropping might improve interest in the facial expression. Nice picture.

I would lessen the vignetting, but that is more personal taste. The black and white conversion looks great though.
