As I said in your Two Towers book cut thread, I really like how you are restoring the original color to the films. The digital degrading of the films made them dull and boring for me. I did think some of the color in the pics, especially Lothlorien, did not look totally natural. Because of the low color contrast, Frodo's face is more obviously the same color as the background foilage on the left. Did you use behind the scenes footage or still photographs for reference. Disc four on the Fellowship extended edition has a feature called Digital Grading that shows a lot of before/after examples. Lothlorien is drastically recolored. The battle inside the mines was given a blue tint.
