This is a interesting take on the challenge. I think tanguera nailed the processing that you needed to help. The white balance is the biggest issue....Creative!
Excellent OOB (out of the box) entry. Love the originality. This could be even better with some adjustments to the levels, color balance, and contrast.
An excellent concept, nicely framed and composed. But your white balance is very off, and it needs some levels/contrast tweaking; this needs some editing love.
