Default rocked out teenager...too much?

I adjusted for slightly more hi/low lights and bumped up the contrast just a touch then I learned a new layer option so thought Id play with it (Im still experimenting).I used layers blended at 50% saturation mode and went wild with the color palette on her hair and eye makeup and added a glare off of the drainage pipe. not too much else. Any input is valuable...what would you have done different OR what effect would be better for this image? How is the overall composition/lighting/etc? Is the angle too much? TIA

Looks like you did a pretty good job on this one. You really brought her eyes out of the shadows, which is always a good thing. The colors are vibrant. I don't know that I like the flare on the drain. And it looks like there's a clone mark on her elbow, very visible.

A great job. Great composition, good angle, and the second one has the shine on the pipe which enhances the overall look of the photo. A great editing too..

Excellent Photography !! Awesome work and keep it up .
Very Creative

As Jamfke stated, you might want to fix that clone mark on her elbow. If it were me, I would clone out the pipe that looks like it is growing out of her head. Other than that, I like what it looks like. Unfortunately, I can't see the original image.
Keep up the good work!

LOL I never even noticed the pipe until you said something, good point. The mark that looks like a clone mark is actually part of that particular lighting effect and i think I can mute out the "orbs" in future edits. Thankyou so much
