Some Lighting Paint Overs

A few weeks back I was helping my friend with some personal art he was doing, specifically helping him tune in some materials, as well as giving him some pointers with lighting in an effort to add a bit of mood and narrative. Here are the paint overs:

Edit* The original had no paint, only hte center cable, and only one light source from the right. While the image came out bloomy (my bad) the extra darks and lights added contrast to the scene that wasn't there before, both drawing the eye to the areas where the darks and the lights met, as well as giving more complimentary colors to a more desaturated style.
