final edit: going from pink to a dark purple body because you have shadowed it more than the previous one. At the same time, the golden regalia(I know those shoes have a name but I haven´t figured it out) has transformed into a vibrant color of flames. They are purely reflecting the sun and it seems that the obscurity makes Celestia look absolutely isolated. Like the sun it´s the only light which illuminates her soul but not enough to get inside her body. This one is better because the pink that irritated me a little bit is gone. The color follows a more natural rhythm within her mane(especially the upper part) and in her legs. The blurred stars make more sense in this one.

I still don´t know which one I should pick, either the second edit or your favorite. Though I have to admit that the monochrome edit could surprise more than one outsider out there.

Now, about with the absolute destruction...

>it is a destruction of art thing going for it. It doesnt look appealin in the slightest but it is visually interesting a bit. Like it could go somewhere if treated with care.
I will say that those filters could be pretty fitting if used with care indeed. It´s way more chaotic than it should because that destruction doesn´t seem to follow a pattern. It´s partially appealing if you look at the green parts, looking like a creepy skeleton with those green wings and face and with the black filter, you are using it as a psychedelic contrast like the body is between the space.
I think the main problem is that the body is cut in half and only her hooves shows Celestia. Her mane delivers those vibes of space.

My advice is that when you are using strong filters, destruction could be as equally chaotic as the direct ones but they could go with a softer contrast or pattern to connect them instead of feeling like a completely random collage.

It gives the same distortion while bringing those two concepts of the filters. When you get into the point that they match somehow, that´s where the destruction comes to play. Even destruction asks for some requirements to be destroyed sometimes.

The image has some energy located in some spots (her face or the mane and tail constellations) but something is in the middle of the road.
