 This is actually more like an accidental snapshot than anything else. She came in with that daisies on her head and I somehow had to take a picture. It only occured to me the next day that that picture would actually fit the challenge.

I like the portrait, although the background looks a bit flat.

Cloned out a hair, some shadow in the background and a spot on the skin. Curves and USM.

After the challenge:
Yes, it was taken with the flash from the camera. That's also the reason of the tight crop, as there was some shadow behind her that looked kind of ugly.

Thanks for the comments!

great idea but I feel so much more could have been done with this.. Beautiful model, nice idea but we need more from the model and more processing. 5

Nice photo, nice pose. I think it could be much improved with some different lighting. It looks a bit flat - was this shot with a flash? - 7

Great daisy chain..not sure why but the colours seem a bit washed out, and the item (hood?)directly under the models chin is a bit distracting, as do the odd stray hairs. Having said that I still like it and it a nice bit of creativity in this cahllenge

For me a bit of sharpening as a last step would have added a bit of pop to this image.
