Hair Color Perspective Shot: too much post-processing?

[starjo]

here's the shot:



my questions are these:

does the post-processing annoy you (is there too much?)

should i fix the splotch of color on my sister's wrist (by the tattoo?)

does the shot work better in black and white? (also posted on flickr)

should i flip it 180 degrees? i tried it, but liked it better as is (upside down) what do you think?

thanks for any feedback!!

I preffer this version to the b/w one. I especcialy like the purple brush.
I don't mind the spot on your sister's arm.

Good work
