Eric, this would be the way - but the pic was a snapshot while having a glass of champagne, back from a 2-hours dance practice on a fresh sunday morning. I'm afraid the softbox would have spoiled the mood. A fill-in flash would have helped, but I am nuts at that technique. The sun is, no doubt, the photographer's enemy...
Here's the second one, conventional treatment simulating Kodak Panatomic X (ISO 32), plus light sepia toning. Conveniently provided by Silver Efex. No filter, no clarity tweak. Somehow I was looking for a "punchy", 3-D rendering of her face, in line with the quite energetic dancing business before, and coping with the total absence of make-up etc. that precedes most contemporary photo shoots.
In the latter variation, I miss the piercing gaze of the first variation, that seemed to turn her brown eyes into blue ones. The effect of orange channel being pushed (full throttle).
