Well, you could improve the lasers, make them a straight glowing line, but the main improvement would be a desaturation of the buildings & spaceships in the background, and maybe some sort of overall fog ( also in the background), since and invasion would mean general debris & smoke in the air.

Here my opinion :
The main symbol of the puppeteer is that wood cross on which the strings are attached:
http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/?id=14803377&refnum=1647260&source=sxchu04&source=sxchu04
but i don't know where you could find a stock with that. If you do, it would improve the mood for sure.
You have 3 girls, all in white & all brunettes, which lowers the impact, cause of the same element repetition ( and not cause they're brunettes ) .
You could:
- either keep just one, controlled by two hands = more of a "being controlled" feeling.
-or have them all in different colors, neutral color on the foreground girl, & opposing colors on the other two.
- or one evil one good, one sad one happy, etc.
That would give a "playing with your mind feeling"

Well i think it's way better, and I really like it! Now, maybe you should hear other comments too, cause i don't wanna influence your design too much. The composition has improved now, and it's creepy no more

I believe the idea is that she captures the landscape in her mind.
Man, that's a brave concept and I don't know how i would have done it better, except for Not using the plastic wrap & other filters on her face.
I would also make the composition so that her eye is at 1/3rd of the image and not right in the center.
Add an overlay on the background to enhance colors and desaturate just a bit (maybe also blur) the image in her head! After-all memories are not clear, you can't remember all the details of an image unless you're an autistic.
C'est ton choix de suivre ou non mes suggestions; ci oui et quelque chose n'est pas clair dis-moi.

greymval says:

This is good work, for a better blend try to overlay some noise, and maybe some blur too - but they should look exaggerated, just a little to make it realistic.

Star Catcher
avatar greymval
greymval says:

Lol, i meant that metal band around her neck- the shape ( & texture) is not continuous and when it reaches the shoulders it seems it has no thickness. I guess who can easily fix it with a pen tool and a bit of cloning.
The easiest way to improve texture would be to take a sample of the whisk enlarge it and clip it over the shape, while you warp it to follow the curve.
For shadows you can :
- use a different layer in which you paint with black soft brush.
- or just duplicate layer, threshold it , lower opacity.
At the end you should use gaussian blur and fade it ( in Edit) if you think it's too much.

You can also add a few solid color layers on top of the final result with overlay & low opacity, so it improves the general mood & blending.
Some people use lighting effects & overlay to level out the main piece & place on second the BG - just try different things until you like it.

Whisk Fashion Accessories
avatar greymval
greymval says:

It's a good idea but there are some problems:
- Light source : those earrings from her right ear - left side of the image would not receive as much light as those from the right side.
- Edges should be softer cause they make the accessories look flat.
- Shadows on the girl are soft, but the shadow from necklace is hard, like the light source is really close. This discrepancy makes the blend look less realistic.
- also the Design of the necklace could be improved- it doesn't look to nice at this moment.
I hope you won't mind for telling you this, you should know that i appreciate a blending entry more than a CBR where lights/shadows are abstract notions.

Distort - spherize for shape, clipping layer with 30 opacity black & white for shades&light, would make the balloons look 3d.

Cyborg prodution
avatar greymval
greymval says:

The idea is cool, but execution can be improved- maybe having an environmental that would complement not compete with the main object, and fixing that reflection would help.

You could try to see how reflection works for that type of shape either by using a 3d program or by pouring flour on a mirror in real life and taking a pic of it.
