Overall I liek the edit. I wish there was more of her arm on the left to make it a bit clearer what it is. Cropping into her upper arm and past her elbow would have made it clearer but also kept away the lower part of her arm (which is what i am assuming you were trying to not include).

The crop and processing were definitely the right decision. It gives the photo a completely different feel from the original. Very mysterious.

I like the processing and agree with yanko about the shadow. I wouldn't have cropped so aggressively though, it now looks like her arm is coming from nowhere and not being able to see her fingers makes it hard to tell it is an arm. I read in your post that you were going for the highlighting of the tattoo. I believe you could have retained the highlight of that important area and still left in the rest. Perhaps even just the top of the arm (bicep) :) But again, it comes down to individual taste :)

Perfect. I bet you were happy when you first saw it, and you had every reason to be!
