 I played with the free trail of Topaz Adjust. Loving it...however, I think I have over-done it for some people's taste with this image.

I played with the free trail of Topaz too and I felt the same. I guess Topaz is not for me.

Gave this a 10. Good to see it placed highly. Regarding your remark above that you think you overdid the Topaz Adjust, that aspect had me guessing that this was a NikonJeb entry!

Great Image, actually one of my favorites in this challenge. Love the pp and the melancholic expression in her face. Very well done.

Like you say, just a tad overdone for my taste, compared to the background. The books clothes and building all say despair, perhaps her face could have said something else?

Nice processing, but just a bit too staged.

The ONLY thing that kinda bothers me in this photo is the two dark wrinkles above her eyebrows, to me it looks like a double eyebrow.. That being said I just came back and upped this from a 7 to an 8 because it is a GREAT photo!
