I like your B&W conversion. This is a nice portrait, but I have a few questions.
Was your choice of broad lighting a deliberate choice? If so, what were your objectives using that lighting pattern?
The lighting direction tends to make her left arm look big. If you are trying to emphasize her tone and muscularity, then it would be the correct choice. However, if this is more of a portrait, I might have considered short lighting her to get the light off her arm.
Also, your key light is so far to the side that it highlights more of the side of her head and ear than her face.
If you used a short lighting pattern, I think you would still see the powder.
If all your choices were thought out and deliberate, it's fine. However, the high lighting ratio and broad light is traditionally considered a masculine approach and I don't know if that was your intent.
