The ZOMBIE look? Is that what you were after??? That is more or less what you got!!! Just need some blood and bruises.. skin tone is about right!

Exactly right. If you want to emulate someone I'd pick a different group of photographers to follow.

Better!! You almost look human now!! (yes.. I'm kidding!) it looks like you brightened and increased contrast?

I still think the original is the best for skin tones... though! More even highlighting also..
