Great moment capture, and a very cool location. I love the idea of the texture, and I like it being really in-your-face, but I'm not so keen on that particularl texture. It looks a bit too much like computer painting, from the constant width, constant strength lines coming out the edges. A more natural grungy texture would really make this shot.

Wow, great hair, and yes, the hat works really well. For me, the technical side of this shot is lacking a little. The blown top edge, the desat I feel is too much, the lack of sharpness. In thumbnail, it all looks great, but blown up, it doesn't quite deliver. The focus seems to be too far back. Maybe it was set on centre spot focus? I find that particularly with closeup portraits, I either have to carefully focus/recompose every shot, or I set to all focus points.
(because the face/eyes are often closer than the centre, such as we see here). For the desat, I would tend to leave more colour than this, or possibly use a selective desat to paint out most of the colour, but leave some in her face and possibly hair. So, a few details to consider, but overall, I really like this image.

Sweet move, and a great action shot! Wish there was a bit more light on the skater. The texture is really in your face - I might like it a bit subtler, but maybe not. =)

The shot is great, the edit on the eyes is not IMO. A more settle adjustment to her natural eye color would look lots better.

I like the texture you have added. What is it exactly?

:( I only used layers on this - I suppose I need to read into the advanced more carefully as I thought layers were all right. :(
