Post DQ:
Ooops. Well, now I know. Don't run any actions when editing for Basics. However, I think you can do the acidify effect without illegal layers. I only figured that out after submitting. O, also, try not to start editing 45 minutes before submission deadline. That'll get ya every time!

I'm not sure what to think of this image. My first impression is that I don't really like it, but I can't think of any suggestions, other than if the model had indeed passed out, her head wouldn't be comfortably resting on her arm. Her head would be on the floor. But that's a minor picky detail. I'm not sure whether the desat works or not. Maybe white balance problems in the original image, but it's hard to tell.
This certainly conveys over-indulgence though not necessarily the luxurious side of it. Concept comes through loud and clear in the execution, composition works well.
