Default Midnight

Hi,
I took the original into Colour Efex Pro and selectively added some control points to add light and shadow. Does this effect look good, or have I pushed it too far?

I guess it depends what you're going for... I kinda like this, but at the same time it doesn't all natural... I guess... so in the end, I like it!

I like it, though the black space on the left is a bit too much.. I think it would have worked better croped.

I would do a closer crop on the left. I think it's a littler over processed. The lit up part of his face looks fake.
