I have to say that I love the color tests, vaderios. It looks so much better without the ridiculoulsly saturated magentas and oranges. To me, its now a city, and not a giant outdoor rave. kudos.
I think I will disagree with those who say the skin tones are NOW the same color as the background. In the original, they are ALSO the same color as the background. Only difference is, its a saturated orange to start, and now a desauturated brown. Which I find more pleasing. I will agree that it is a bit dark. Some lightening and contrast would help that a bit.
Thanks for posting the images. great stuff.
