I'm not too fond of the processing choices that you made here. I'd bet this would look great if you had pulled back a ton.

Oversaturated and over processed.

Something seems off with the white balance in this shot. Her skin tones do not look natural.

Comment by taterbug:
Good composition. A quite daring, and I find, interesting edit. It may not be to a lot of people's taste, but I think it works. I like it, nice job. :-)

Over color saturated ruins it IMO. 6

I've got to rate this high because I just feel in my bones that this is getting hammered by those who don't like heavy processing. One thing that particularly stands out in this image is that it is clear that you nailed the pic's technicals even though it is heavily manipulated. Additionally, in spite of the strong processing, the colors are still very well managed.
10. Easy.

After doing more voting, I came back to this and wanted to add my comment that so far (only 22% of 707 images), this is my favorite in the challenge.

I'm sure it is intentional but I find the bright red tones on her cheek somewhat distracting. JMHO.

Way over processed.
