It was part of our yard landscaping for several years ... kind of a "barnyard" look.

The PP treatments are a bit strong, in my opinion. The stark white outlines become the focus of the picture, making me wonder what kind of plumbing maze this is supposed to be. I think the model needs to stand out a bit more; I can see the head but I have no idea of where her facial features start and end.

I wasn't sure what to think when I first saw this on my smart phone, too 'busy', but I've checked it now on my pc screen, and it kind of makes sense on a big screen. Like a lot of pictures, especially landscapes, they don't reveal their true worth until you see them large, then the detail comes out. I think you're just experimenting. It's worth pursuing. I echo some of John's points above, other features, like the flowing water out of the hand pump also need emphasizing. Perhaps some of the background could be toned down too. Perhaps a sepia type print (filter) might work better.
I like the picture and it's concept. Keep going!

nice work, but is it possible to put up the original as a comparison, i'm having a job to see the features

Generally, I like it, I just want a smidgen more clarity. I'm going to assume this is a canned filter. It has that look and I play with them quite a bit. The thing about the results from a filter is that you normally only have one "handle" to manipulate the effect and that is the applied intensity. So the unfortunate thing about this particular application (in my opinion) are the light sections around the face that obscure her features. If you applied the same filter and pulled the intensity back just a tad, the results might be better. I bet the original is an interesting photo.

An interesting treatment. For me, I think much is lost in the coloration and the limning. "Too muddy" comes to mind.
I would pick one item to highlight with the rest of the photo acting as background. There are several such items to choose.

This is my original attempt but I thought it a bit strong and turned it to the brown tone..

In this version, the model is more apparent to the viewer.
Maybe limning the wagon wheel more and the further out items less would help bring out the model more. More flesh tones on the model?

How about this?
I would take the limning where it hits the wheel on our left, run it around the arc to the hair, above and around the hair to the arc of the wheel on our right. Then the back of the arm down and the way the rest goes. I would remove the limning off the face and inner hair line. Also the part on the back of arm going to wheel arc. This will, with the tub edge limning, give an inner frame for the model. Just my suggestion. Others may provide other ideas. You do have a good basis working for you.

I'd love to see the original without the Edge effect...
