Maybe a touch of a greenish cast in the skin tones, but the skin tone does not seem totally natural in either image. Both edits seem to me to need a little more of a pinkish tone in the skin. I can see definite improvement in the edit. The original had the eyes oversharpened, and the comp in the new edit is pleasing. I like the tones of the red hat in the edit as well. It's amazing how much difference some subtle changes can make. Well done.

This is about the fourth time I've come back to this shot and only just now noticed the D N M C wink in the title - jeez, observant much? :) Whimsical and fun, which is about the only thing anyone should have done with a challenge like this one...

The bokeh steals the show here - brilliant, delightful. I guess if you consider "cool" to be sorta depressive and "warm" to be lively, this might skew more toward warm. But luckily I neither voted this challenge or care to be concerned with DNMC B.S., so you just get a "yay" from me for this cheery macro. :)

Crisp and sharp, but I think I would have worked some color into the scene somehow...

B&W was a good choice for this. Nice focus, clarity, details. DOF a plus.
