Default Too close to natural? Does it make colours look off?

I have gone really heavy on this one but I am wondering if it is too close to natural yet not far enough to work?

Would be great to have your thoughts. All cc and plays welcome.

I'm no where near as experienced as some, but it looks like a good job, to me.

I don't like the hand by the face in this pose. Looks like you caught her scratching her cheek or something.

Other than that, it's almost like I could reach out and touch her.

TFS.

I think the pose is cute.

But on my screen the colours look off. It looks too cold. I'd personally warm it up a little bit (realising that the photo probably looks different on everyone's screens).

Looks too blue and green to my eyes.

I think it has a green color cast, but I don't see the "heavy" treatment...I guess that means it wasn't enough for what you were going for.

I have taken off the gradient maps and I think it is a better? However it is still in my opinion a 'nice' image and I think it could be better.

Any ideas?

PS HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
