I like the blown out look- but it's almost too much. The photo is great, and like I said, the look is there, but it might need to be toned down a little bit

This is true artistry. Your model has beautiful features that your technique has really made the most of. The colored roses (I think they're roses) are just the right touch, not distracting from her face at all, but rather enhancing the overall beauty of the portrait. It wouldn't be the same without them or if they were in black&white. I like it a lot.

Great Image... What multiple filters were executed to cast the effect?

I didn't like this picture when I first saw it. But when I went back to it and studied it some more it kinda grew on me. The processing which I found to be overwhelming at first now seems to make sense, emphasizing the hypnotic eyes of the model. Good job, I'm changing my 5 to a 7

Comment by Bran-O-Rama:
Contrast appears a bit harsh and lighting overexposed. Not sure if it works for this photo. Also, I'm not sure if the shadowy grain on the right half of the face works as traditional portraits appear to be soft and flattering. Image appears soft overall with no definite sharpness other than the eyes, which are still not as sharp as I'd like them to be. I believe the flowers should've been sharper for this submission as coloring them still doesn't take my attention and focus away from the model's eyes.

Very pretty photo. I like your use of lighting and contrast to create an etherial effect that emphasizes the title. It might have been nice to see her eyes in a color tone that compliments the flowers?...... 7

You have some blown out highlights... JK :) Great effect and well done, I love the contrast between the eyes and white face. Maybe use USM on the flowers only?
