The color/saturation look too forced in my opinion.

The eyball looks pretty scary. The eyelid and surrounding areas look a little pixelated.

Interesting. How'd you do it?

Sorry, but this doesn't appeal to me at all. It is digital art (no longer a photo), but in a sketchy, blotchy sort of way. 3

Super-processing doesn't fly on DPC. I like some of it, but not this one. It's mainly the halos around the red and the super white of the eyes. 3.

It looks like over processing for my taste.

This is eerie and creative all rolled up in one. I think it would be better if the skin tones didn't seem so grainy. But maybe that is what you wanted.
