how far is too far?

well this is from a RAW file so obviously you MUST do some type of "post processing" but... how far is to far for you? what do you think?

This is "as shot"

Compared to this, i used the healing tool to clean my sensor :-)

I just feel like I'm going to far sometimes although I do like the way it looks. Has anyone felt like that?

Hmm, maybe too far if you want to keep the photo as a "photo". But if you don't mind calling it a manipulation, I dont see a problem. I actually kind of like the original, anyways. Two-toned loneliness.
