 Aside from a few basic adjustments, I used the dodge tool for her eyes, teeth and the sparks on her tongue, and brushed in the glowing pupils.
I know that some people will hate the eyes, but such is life..... can't please everybody.

A big "Thank you" to my daughter for volunteering to do this - it took her a while to get the knots out of her hair again.

love this composition and the light in the hair is great. the sparks on the tounge and the globe are fab but I do think that eye colour is a little too bold.. = 9

Interesting shot~ I hope the hair went back to normal easily. I think there should be a bit more lighting on the face, however.

Cool idea :) The eyes quickly draw attention away from the hair though. I'm scoring you and your model higher because I appreciate the effort you put into this image.

what DID you do with the eyes?
And the lightning in the bacground doesn't really improve the picture imo.

nice creation. a bit more lighting (and therefore contrast) on the face would have just nailed it!

Good lighting to emphasize the hair, which has great crispness to it.
