YEh the blacks are really crushed on this. If you shot raw bring back some details in the blacks.

I will give those a try I was going for the Early 50's style colorization, and the smooth face is a result of that, which I believe I achieved. But yes I can see where the Blacks are crushed and will try to bring it back. I always shoot in raw.

I kind of like the old effect of the 40's to 50's genre for this one.

Try to recover some of the cheek highlights, if they aren't blown.

Cheeks look OK to me. JUST within acceptable range especially with the look he's going for.
