I like the new color better. Its now looking like almost like a sepia tone. The shadows are now what is bothering me most. The shadows around the eyes are extremely dark and has swallowed up his eyebrows. The shadows around the nose and around the hairline also look very dark.
it was lit with an SB600 bounced off the ceiling, but the walls on either side of him were red, so that might have attributed to it. maybe i didnt change the white balance settings either, im not sure. either way, yes the original is pretty red.
about the shadows, yes they do obscure some things, but i like it. i wish i had a more serious picture, because it fits the "mood" better with the dark contrast and desaturated colors.
thanks for your great comments, though. you've helped a lot!
