Well, I am trying some new things in Lightroom and wanted opinions on the treatment here:

I know there is an explosion of colors here that don't necessarily tie in well.....

    The color combos here are not working for me. She also seems a bit too bright and isolated from the background.

    Looks like lots of fill light, lots of black point, lots of clarity, lots of vibrance.
    Maybe back off each of those a bit and it would be better.

    I see where you are going and kind of like the look but just a bit overdone, to my eye anyway.

    I do like the photo, what does the original with regular processing look like?

    If you could quiet her down just a bit around the edges. She appears too cut-out looking. If I squint my eyes it begins to work. I absolutely love the vibrant and slightly disorienting color. It really fits the subject. Kudos for stepping out of the comfort zone!

    Thanks guys...y'all confirmed my "experiment gone mad" analogy...

    I needed to be grounded as I felt I had gone off the deep end with this one :D

    The main effect is from onOne software as a preset from their collection for LR3 but I tweaked it so much I got carried away.

    I do appreciate the honest feedback.
