Over all I like it but not sure about the blown out effect. Plus the eyes in the original file are dreadful to start with and no detail. Not to mention her pupils are so huge she looks as if she is high on mushrooms tongue

What are your thoughts?

The missing hair is really detracting, because it alters the perspective --- no amount of soft blur can fix that. Go find some cut and paste hair in another photo, or add a hat. Either way put in a background

Could you explain please, how on earth the hair is altering the perspective?? Priceless your suggestion of cutting/pasting hair and hats!!

To the OP, you could have added the moon at the back and pretend the model was there!!

The image looks good, I will pay attention tho to the neck, hands and the rest of the body! Apart from that looking good!!
