You asked me about the colour. First of all let me say: I like
this photo the way it is. This is how it looks at night on B17. You can correct to 'daylight colours' on the MD but that will give an unnatural appearance. Moreover, with the white lights you switched on you created a problem because what they shine on will become very blue if you make the yellowish tints more white.
On a side note, see Pluggie's remark in this topic on making the colours even more 'unreal', in stead of the other way around.
There are several methods, and tools, for
tonal corrections as they are often called. Some Googling will give you much better explanations than I can give you here. The controlled method I use involves colour droppers and curves, and the 'Eyeball Mk.I' looking at a calibrated monitor. Putting it very simplified, you could say that correcting to neutral colours involves making the R, G and B curves of your image more equal. The corrections have to be very small.
Forgive me for not going into this further, perhaps others will do so.
The reflections in your photo are called flare and ghosting. They happen on the various elements inside your lens, and are hard to avoid when a bright source of light is pointing at you. Removing your filter will help a little: it's one layer less to play with the light. Generally, zoom lenses with their many elements suffer more from this than primes (fixed).
Hope this gets you further,
Erik
