Hi, thanks for sharing. Here’s my attempt:
My alt take.
1+2. Same as before.
3. gmic
→ contrast (guided) → darken shadows → add chroma → resize → sharpen → frame ⇒ Inkscape
→ draw face ⇒ gimc
→ blend face
Please zoom to 100%. Enjoy!
Edit:
Yesterday I’ve just found out the Color Grading in the Colors section of G’mic. I rarely use Colors in Gimp’s G’MIC, it was a nice surprise to find Color Grading …The word ‘color grading’ & ‘Wes Anderson style’ was coming to my senses about three weeks ago.
Here’s my first attempt on color grading, to gain neutral color and warm.
DSC9410.NEF to Rawtherapee >> Output in jpg to Gimp 2.8.22 (Curves, Contrast Overlay & Tonemapping, saturation), photo above >> back to Gimp, Color Grading, photo below
Suggestions always welcomed and appreciated.
My pp3 from Rawtherapee 5.4

Worked in RawTherapee - BW conversion with Yellow filter + vignette at 40percent + microcontrast sharpen + 2nd Curve Parametric Cage to taste. Open jpg in Gimp and Sample Colorize a tone set I sampled from an alternative chemical photographic process.
Thank you.
When I saw the image I thought of classic old fashioned black and white.
Showoff…
