Place flowers into unexpected places. A head with a bouquet sprouting instead of hair, or flowers sprouting from a cannon, or a birthday cake with flowers instead of candles...
Great concept, nice blend.
You might want to consider darkening the front of the flower "hair" a bit more to match the shadow of the woman, which shows a stronger back lighting of the subject, not so much towards the front.
could be the resolution, but some of the entry areas don't look so much inside the girl as just black splotches (the stomach to breast looks good, but the shoulder and the side of face one could use some dodging to show depth .. ) Without and SBS or a HI RES image though, there's really no way to see what went wrong..IMHO of course (the feet are GREAT!)
Almost looks like you gave up

I'm not sure.. maybe if you brighten the image or dimmed the flowers? the contrast feels a bit violent and the faded girl with the super bright roses makes my eyes bounce back and forth.. (all IMHO of course).. it just seems the balance is off.. good luck though, great idea
EDIT: Much better blend author, very interesting chop
Excellent concept, I love the zipper effect! You need to add a bit more shading to the roses coming out of her back, they are sitting above the image, rather than being part of it. Perhaps desturating the color very slightly and adding some shadows where they are over the skin will help. Very nicely done!
