I give credit to my friend Pasty because this really is a cliff and that is probably closer then I would be standing to the edge :)

My first impressions of this shot were favorable - I know you already received some negative comments concerning the color shifting of the sky and the horizon line, and while I agree that the they could be toned down a little (the blue horizontal line is a little strong), I don't have a problem with the effect. I rather like it.
For the challenge in question, or even on its own, I think the model could stand some more drama in pose - they way she is standing there with her arms hanging, seems to make that part of the image feel kind of limp. The wings don't stand out much because of it either. If her arms had been outstretched for example, and maybe facing you or facing completely away might be an option. Experimenting with that would be fun.
Overall I think this is a good image with a surreal or fantasy edge to it. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
The color work is a little crazy. I can handle the purple sky but not that bright blue horizon line. Other than that, this does a pretty good job saying jump without anyone actually jumping. Cool idea.
