You can always just flip it. I think your timing was good, but the dis-embodied head is kinda creepy to me. How does the original look?

I see where this pic was intended to go, but I think you missed a few key things.
1) I hate selective colouring. everyone does it simply beacuase they think it looks cool. The only time i saw it where it made sense was Schindler's List. So unless you're shooting a WW2 epic...
2) The cerimonial feeding of the cake to the bride / groom is a fun situation for a great shot, however, I think this shot just simply looks like a hand feeding some girl. I would widen it a bit, adding elements that clearly show this is a wedding, work in the wedding cake, show some other guests in the backgorund also trying to get the shot. show more of the groom too.

I don't know many women who would feel that this photo enhances their beauty. If they've a good sense of humor of are confident in themselves they could like it. I don't really like it, though. I just see a hairy hand and wrinkles.

No. I too think that it looks like she's taking medication, and the B&W version is just too strong !
