A little color grading

So Vincent Laforet, one of the film makers that started the HDDSLR movement, is holding a contest on his blog.  Check out his blog for more details. (http://bit.ly/k50wFO)  I'm working on my submission right now and am working on figuring out the look I want for it.  I'm using After Effects to do all my grading, utilizing Color Finesse and also trying Magic Bullet Looks out for the first time.  I'm a big fan of Color Finesse having used it for many of my past projects.  Magic Bullet seems to be great for quick and easy looks that have a good deal of customization, but for those that need more finite control may find it may not work for every situation.  I'm personally looking forward to trying out DaVinci Resolve once the free limited version comes out.  Having used Apple's Color, which while robust is in desperate need of an update, I'm hoping it is a smooth transition.  I'm excited to really get my hands on professional color correction software.  Below are my rough grades so far.  Still finessing but I'm thinking that the 50s noir look I'm going for comes across.
