Had great fun with this challenge. A self portrait of my expression every time I hit the DPC score update button.
The usual curves, levels, sharpen and resize for web. Plus a little extra local area tweaks because it's advanced editing.
Fingers crossed

Arrrrrrggggh fatal error, I am red green colour blind! No seriously, I am. I only realised that I had overdone the red in the skin tones by the many comments. Even now I can't see it. Arrrrrgh! I am mad that I didn't get someone to check before posting as I had the same problem in the transparency challenge. I'll stick to black and white in future!

Oh man! I bet each comment about the skin must have been such a bummer! Oh well, a 6.78 for a color blind dude ain't too shabby! : ) Very well set up and good idea. Congrats on fourth (bittersweet, I know).
This is a really good idea! now, you have probably heard this from many others, but there are some issues with the skin tones in the pic, the man's face has some out of place pink areas and the skin tones his hand by his face are not matching his face, and the hand touching his face is overexposed... BUT I still think it is a really good idea!
I like this shot, although it looks like you boosted the magenta saturation for the tie and it carried over to the face and hand. This was an advanced editing challenge so you could have fixed that.
There's some really ODD pink stuff going on at the hairline, the eyebrows and the area between the mouth and nose on my monitor. I really like the idea of this... and it's well lit and believable... except for that pink stuff.
