Default Fell out of bed on the wrong side today

I was looking at some pictures the other day on flickr and saw this one of this girl on a table turned sideways and I really wanted to try it, so I've given it a go but on a bed. It's also one of my first attempts at fully manual, and I know the exposure is a bit wrong which I think is due to the ISO being too high. I'm wondering what people think of the overall picture- does it look like she's falling, basically. I don't think it fully does because her back is too flat, but I'm hoping for some feedback to develop it basically, so any critique would be helpful.

Thanks.

it is your wb that is off....use the eyedropper in ACR and it will adjust it for you.

but no, to me, it doesn't look like she is falling off of a bed.....it looks like you rotated the picture...maybe I am just not creative.

I think if you had been at maybe the end of the bed and had her 'rolling' off the bed it would look like that. But also, without seeing the picture you are talking about on Flickr, I have no idea if this is similar to it or not....

White Balance is definitely off. It's really blue. I kind of like that blue tint in this image though. It doesn't look like she's falling (more like she's holding herself up) I think it might work if you tried it against a harder surface. Make sure to get all hands and feet in the image. The foot chop is very distracting in this one.

A more realistic-looking fall would be one where she is not falling toward the headboard with the headboard obviously propped against the wall! It's very obvious that the photo has been rotated.

I agree with the WB, as well.
