Ben, this is an image I struggle with. It did not go beyond the effect in my opinion. It might be too vulnerable technically, thus stopping the viewer to go to the essence. The blur and movement and double image do not enhance the perception of the subject. It's just looking in a wet mirror.
I might soud harsh, but such happens with art works worth the second and third look. Art works that cannot be ignored and pierce the brain or the heart.

Ben, this is such an extraordinary image. Brutal and fascinating. Very "in your face" in every sense.

I love that the curve of her frown mimics the arch of the rim of her hat.

its art.... the crop is great. The image is great too.

If I'm being honest the grain isn't quite working for me, dunno why though I like grain and it is good grain too -- maybe I'm a bit tired ... an image like this needs to be looked at properly and taken time over with a cup of tea or something.

Overall all I really like it.

------ edit ------

what the zork do I mean "overall"? ..... no I just really like it.
