I think the processing is very well done. You have a great point of view and the eyes are incredible. One thing that I struggled with while working on my unsubmitted photo for this challenge was the blending of the texture with the skin. I think I am seeing the same thing here... I struggled with getting a good look around the transition of the jaw line to the neck and areas like that on the face including the lips and nose. I think there should be a very thin shadow under the jaw line that acts to separate the jaw from the neck. There should not be any texture going through the shadow line and the pattern at the neckline should not match with the pattern on the jaw. You have done a nice job on your texture at that point. (Sorry for being long winded...)

was the skin disease applied all over necessary here? I personally do not think so (unless it was a piece for a medical journal). The effect just at the eyes would have been enough and convey the emotion, now it's uniform and mechanical and lost the effect. The portrait would have been great.

The "sickness" runs over the top of the necklace and doesn't separate where the jawline and neck converge. Makes it less believable but kudos for creativity!

This is really cool! You nailed the eyes, and I like the texture on the face. The only problem I have with this is that the texture layer on the face makes the picture look kind of flat. The shading of the texture doesn't quite match the shading on the face. Still, this is a powerful shot, well done!
