The lens-baby adds a lot of motion and unrest to the photo that is, by name, about melancholy. I like that symbolism - that you are still and all around you is swirling. That by being centered, or the center, you do not move by definition. It's comforting, but boring. Hopefully, the forthcoming Spring will provide you with longer days, warmer weather, less snow, and some relief from your melancholic disposition.
Lensbaby? If so, I think it's overprocessed. The fuzzy, funny background actually pulls attention from your subject. Otherwise, great personality, colors, composition.
This is one of the few parital face portraits that seems to me like it was intentional and framed that way in camera, instead of being an afterthought crop. Love the DOF and lensbaby focus. The colors and the graininess in the processing perfectly contribute to the mood of the image. 8 from me.
