Post editing: Cropped, adjusted cuves, adjusted selective color, dodged and burned, played with the median for some grain, and resized. I dodged extra on the dots of the brush, so they would stand out better.

I like this shot and am a bit amazed that it didnt score better. The focus the lighting and the composition make it a wonderful shot. I like the vibrant colors of the hair and the brush. Nicely done.
I would have erased the side of the face - taken all the skin parts out because the collar of the shirt creates a sharp, disruptive edge to the image. if she didn't have the shirt and you could see her back, that would be different. Otherwise, the hair, the lighting, the color - all magnificent.
Very nice image. Only thing I would like to see different is a "little" bit of detail of the clothes (minute). The image definetely says "hair". Good job.
