Ran a filter on this as I have once done this before and ruined a shot, this I feel really helps the shot and gives it that something extra it was origianlly missing. I hope it goes down well and gets above 6.0 on votes but time will tell.

colors look a little over worked, the reds especially, around his elbow & around his hair & face seem to stand out a little too much. I'm guessing from one of the stage lights, just my 2 cents :)

Cool treatment. His eyes are glowing to the point of looking supernatural.

The contrasting effect is nice, it may have been just slightly over done though, particularly with all the red at his forehead line and around the lips. 6

This could be used as a poster/ad for the artist - very nicely done - I like the post processing for this alot.
