 I agree with Jac on this one, wasnt till i looked on another moniture that I saw this

10/3/2010 This is the most terrible shot I have ever seen. I had no idea this was so bad, it is terribly terribly horrendous thing i thought it was fairly good at the time. then I looked at it from another moniture. then several years later look at it again, and Crappola

I agree with Jaker and karmat: very cool image that reminds me of an old Life magazine.

I also agree you should fix the visible circles and keep the fixed version for your portfolio (and link to it from here). In the future, try setting the "hardness" of your cloning brush to zero. That will fade the clone effect so you don't have hard edges.

You can decide whether you agree with Judi about making the background truly black. I actually like it the way it is.

This is a VERY cool photo, and initially one of my favorites in the free study. I don't mean to presume what you did or didn't do in editing, but I'm suspecting there was quite a bit of clone stamp on the face? If yes, I might suggest recalibrating your monitor. I didn't see them at first glance, but there are visible circles all over her face. (And I think maybe some healing brush on the chin as well?)

This is DEFINITELY worth fixing though, as the image itself is awesome.

very odd photo, its not very sharp, and its over saturated with purple. maybe a little less contrast and color would have helped this photo

JulietNN, I like the processing, as it is somewhat unique. I think the composition could be a little more daring. If her face was off center, I would find this a little more interesting. In this case, I would put more negative space on the right, as this is the direction of her gaze.

Looks like it could be on a 70s movie poster. I like the muted colors.

The blacks on this image really need to be levelled out.
