Firstly, the Lomo aspect of the photo - I think you've got the facial skin tones spot on for a faux-lomo, though I agree that cloning out the red elbow would enhance the photo. I like the pose too.

I'm no expert in lomo - but to me, it's about slightly soft focus and over-saturated colours - you get these from the neck up - but I'm not sure if the black jumper works in lomo-land? Maybe someone with more knowledge of lomo can comment here.

Without seeing the original shot, it's difficult to say if you could do much to improve the crop, though it often looks more natural to have a model be looking into, rather than out-of the frame as with your crop. Hope that makes sense.

You've inspired me to give lomo a shot myself.
