The loss of detail in the black suit doesn't bother me as much as what are you going for. When I shoot models my first goal and law is to make the model appear better than she actually is or thinks she is. I like to try and down play any negatives and display or accentuate any positives. What looks awkward is the pose more than anything unless it's meant to go with something Egyptian. The pose is not as flattering to the model as most of the work in your port appears.

...maybe you're right!  I've now cranked on the un-sharp mask.  Thanks!
