everything looks great but the skintone color in the portrait shot is a little funky.. i understand you are going for the orange tone but it almost looks like someone painted his face with orange clay dirt..
if you want human skin w/ true orange tones then the white balance has to be perfect first.. i know it's easy said then done but it's probably the hardest skill to acqure as a photographer.. but kudos to you and this great capture..

There is nothing funky about it and I was not going for any tone. This was shot in available light and his skin tone is accurately reflected in the photograph, to the extent possible. These are folks who work outdoors in the sun and often have a burnt orange skin tone in the exposed areas.
