Ran a filter on this as I have once done this before and ruined a shot, this I feel really helps the shot and gives it that something extra it was origianlly missing. I hope it goes down well and gets above 6.0 on votes but time will tell.

colors look a little over worked, the reds especially, around his elbow & around his hair & face seem to stand out a little too much. I'm guessing from one of the stage lights, just my 2 cents :)
The contrasting effect is nice, it may have been just slightly over done though, particularly with all the red at his forehead line and around the lips. 6
