i like the concept! good luck. it looks sort of like she has her thumb under the skin on her neck. her arm is just a bit "off", seems to be floating. the top left corner of her face needs just a bit of work too.

you need to work on the bottom part of the sweater

If the bottom of the sweater were done differently, this would have gotten a higher score from me - I like this concept.

Nice choice of images. Composition is OK.

Some suggestions:
The effect of the filter is not equal in the different parts of the image. Try to make the contrast and sharpness of alle parts in the image roughly equal. If some of the backgroundparts are sharper, or contain a lot more detail than the foreground objects, than you can blur these parts.
I should also have made a color correction on the background to a warmer color.
Instead of applying a filter to the whole image i would have added a layer with noise or grain (with multiply of screen mode).

this is amazing
