It's a very different use of the source, quite abstract; I like it. But girl's image is still a little stretched - when you resize an image, do it pressing shift key, image doesn't distort. And she's too much bright, maybe an adjust on contrast could help.

I see the idea behind this image, even though it's not eye catching. I have few suggestions, maybe they are helpful to you:
(1) the use of blending options in this kind of work normally don't make the nice effect (shadow, glowing, etc.), because they looks very artificial and they add the uniform effect on the whole layer. You can do the same thing by brush (that's the way I always prefer to do), if you have a tablet, that'll be great.
(2) I saw that you use the brush to colorize the eyes, but we still see the rough edges of the brushes. I suggest to use the low opacity, low flow brush, so each click of your mouse doesn't make noticeable effect on the image. With that setting, you can control the intensity of the color easily and it's like you're painting, just cost you a bit more time to repeat the action.
(3) to make the glowing dusts, you can use the scatter setting in the brush setting. Notice that to make the nice glowing effect, just choose the Range of 100%, so the light from the object will be gradually reduced from the center to the out side.
Keep trying, we're here to help.

It's a really beautiful compo! But, looking at the horse size, it seems the "castle" is not that big... If you slide the horse to the opposite side, maybe this impression could be annuled.

Light on building is from upper left, light on horse from upper right. Compositional elements are all on the left. Some rearranging would really help your image.

The "hat" seems blurry and stretched, try to make it smaller; I'd also remove the overcolor from bikini, it doesn't look natural (I thought she was naked until seeing sbs!), if you want to keep the color, try to cover exactly on bikini's dimension, and use multiply, color or overlay blending.

The whole image is beautiful, but as Jawshoewhah said, anything of the source that is recognizable in this case would be good. For a CBR, the image must be more complex and elaborated, I suppose.

gotta agree the bad edges dont add anything for me, nor does the random jaw bone... spend a little more time on the crop and use clone tool to remove the jaw bone .. best of luck author

If I have to look at your SBS to see how you used it, you CBR'd it and honestly your mine as well have not even used it. IMO (and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way) a really good entry for source image contests are those that the source is still visible, but yet turned around in a way similar to it's own shape and still recognizable. Is the source is not apparent, well what the point. Even some of the basic textures would be better that total CBR

No CBRing a source in not against the rules, but I think it totally defeats the purpose and I know not may, like myself give it a very high score.

That's a plane? I thought that was the hostess Twinkie man committing suicide. Yeah, definitely work on your details better and always try to find the biggest source stock with the high res res to get best results.
