Saw this outside the girlfriend's sister's house a few weeks back and had to get a shot of it. You're free to play with it or attempt improvements, but I'm more interested in your thoughts about the photo itself than the postprocessing (which I'm pretty happy with).
It's too busy to really grab interest, there's very little in the way of compelling shape or structure to hold the eye. The blown highlights don't help me stay with it either.
I can kind of see what you were aiming at. Re-shoot it. You could go in clean out the dead stuff and look for a simpler composition with more impact.
I like the detail you have been able to extract/preserve with your processing. But the image is just too busy. Pretty much agree with Silver, above.

lol; maybe I'm going a little crazy (or perverted), but I also see what looks to be a nude holding her arms back. Or maybe I've been divorced for way too long. lol
