I'm half with Philippe here. I love the color, too, although I can't  
look at it long;^)

Color correcting the face here, I'm unsure about. In that  
environment, I'm sure his face looked that color.

We can "fix" color pretty easily nowadays. I've noticed shooting  
pictures of things largely because of the unusual light color, but  
then finding that the color looks TOO unusual in the presentation.

This one for instance attracted because of the brilliant orange from  
the sun on the horizon. When I started working with the photo,  
presenting it the way it looked that day seemed just too much, so I  
turned it down:

In the real world, it actually looked more like this:

Of course, now, rethinking it, I wonder if I turned it down too much??

Anyway, I think you are in the same sort of dilemma here. The color  
is so extreme that it may actually distract from what you saw.
