For sepia tone I first make my image BW by adding a channel mixer adjustment layer, set to monochrome, start with 70/20/10 then adjust to get best contrast, should add up to 100%. Next for the sepia tone add a hue/saturation adjustment layer and click the colorize box and slide the Hue slider and the saturation sliders to get a nice, soft brown tone or whatever color you want. I did the attachment in about 20 seconds so it's just a sample not finished, ya know. A great way to add contrast to an image is to duplicate the layer and set it's blending mode to Overlay. I just recently found this trick and it's fantastic for more contrast as you can adjust the opacity to get it looking great. You have a really nice portfolio but wanted to add this comment since you asked.

Dal,
I like the tone of the picture and the expression on this girl's face is wonderful. This has a 1930's feel to it that I find interesting. It's obvious that you put a lot of thought into this one.

Thank you Dmitry for your instructive comments and example. But I favour a softer and more delicate look of sepia, which is what I tried to achieve. The image was very underexposed and grainy to begin with.
Your B&W is very good but I find the lips are a little overpowering.
Cheers from down under and have a nice day... Dal :)

Good idea, but i think there is too much postwork. Maybe it would be better make the picture simply BW again and leave in color just eyes and lips? Take a look at example i've made. I made it too fast, and i was not accurate...
