Used the leaves to make a border around the girl face. Set them on overlay or on multiply so that to blend them nicely. You may notice that I could not choose only one hue for the image, as a result, I've made a new layer that I've filled in with different color spots and after that I've set it on color.
More details in SBS. Hope you like what I did. Enjoy!

i know im going to get crap for the filter, but i just couldnt help it this time, it worked for me
Hebe (Greek) – Hebe’s name literally means youth or in the prime of life. She was one of the daughters of Zeus and Hera. Her role was to serve the nectar and ambrosia to the Gods and Goddesses that prevented them from aging. (5 years and 3595 days ago)
Which goddess would this be, exactly?
"Research the myth behind the character and create an interesting scene based upon the story." I don't see that here....
Yeah, I wanna know which godess it is aswell
Now that would be the worst job in the universe... waitress for LIFE.... ARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH..hehehehe.. though I suppose the job security is cool LOL
I've always liked Hebe. I think you did a great job capturing her innocence.
I am NOT a filter snob - I think filters are wonderful and part of our working photoShop palette - why some folks condemn others for using them but have no problem with people going to stock sites and using other people's work as their own, is beyond me..probably because the ones who criticize filters have no idea how to use them as artfully and beautifully as you have done here. Hurray for your beautiful use of PhotoShop!
just effects?

If you try to remove the dark strokes around her body.. it will be a nice work... Good luck
It's just an awesome entry. It's too bad you couldn't have uploaded a proper SBS in time
