Yikes! I'm still trying to get all that yellow out of my eyes. I think it kills the image. I would try desaturating it and bringing the brightness down.

(I'm certainly not a professional) I'm not really picking anything up from your subjects' expression. Since the background doesn't seem important I think it would have been good if you had possibly stepper back or made him smile or frown or something.

The yellow is too high a contrast to the dark side of his face. It could be fixed with lots of work. I also tried cropping it to a portrait format and got rid of all the yellow on the right.

His face still needs a boost.

You could try a B&W conversion.

So I guess that's a resounding no to the yellow then haha....it was actually like that on the day with the sun streaming right in on it but now that you mention it!!! I see what you mean..

So did a quick edit....more pleasing to the eye I hope..

although overcooked the de-sat a touch...oh well

Crackenz did a great redo but it's still missing an artisitc edge, IMO. I would take the blue hue out of the shot completely and then add a layer of texture.

Didn't even see that blue hue till you mentioned it...damn it!!! Now it's got my eye....texture is a good idea, ta!

Indians are not shy when it comes to vivid colours. Therefore assuming that this hasn't had the sliders maxed out, I'd leave it in as otherwise it could have been taken in your back yard.
