Actual Image

This is an idea I have wanted to try -experimenting with tumbling hair. My daughter had a friend around so we did some playing. She is lying on a 'bed' covered with black velvet and a blanket of black over her body. This has been cropped, the colours adjusted and some cloning done in the black areas. I wonder if she looks a little disembodied?

I thought it might work better with a tight cropping and cropped from the ear level first.then I rotated downwards to give a windy effect and played with levels tool to give better tones to the skin.auto contrasted afterwards and made some clonning for some small pimples on the face.used neat image to reduce noice and did some framework as a last step.

1. Create a layers level mask and using the black eye dropper tool click on a grey area of the blanket. This should set most of the greys as black and remove all definition from the blanket (if not just click again on the areas still visible as grey). Using the white eye dropper, click on the whites of her eye to set the white point and then find a suitable mid tone and click on this with the grey eye dropper, experiment a bit with this dropper if you don't get the desired effect.

2. Using the curves tools create a shallow S shape to boost contrast.

3. Using unsharp mask sharpen the image, I used amount 65, Radius 1 and threshold 0.

4. I cloned out the small area of grey just below her head

Turn the picture 180 degrees for a different effect and add a simple frame.

I think that creates the effect you were after a little better.
