Can anybody please give me some advice on how to alter the tone of the circled face to reflect more like the other images on this collage. I have tried a multitude of combinations with no real success.  Cheers John

I sampled a reddish colour in the guy's face then sampled a browner spot from the guy two to the right
So I changed #B66762 to #A86957 by a procedural texture R-14/255 G+2/255 B-11/255
It looked too green so I tried R-14/255 G-4/255 B-11/255
If that looks ok try the overlay in the zip, it's a neutral grey modified with that procedural texture. Place it over the face with the blend mode set to soft light. All very subjective of course. Can't upload the picture here so that's zipped as well

The face doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as these feet do.

It looks like they are jumping or on tiptoes.

I would make a mask for the face and use an HSL to bring down the saturation, and maybe for the lightness down a bit too.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Also true for the figure on the left, where the OP asked about adjusting the face.

The shadows and reflections on some of the other faces seem inconsistent to me, too.

It's a montage. Mr Red Circle and the two chaps in front weren't there, zoom in and there are lots of giveaways not least the non existent shadows

Clearly. But there is enough wrong that I'm not sure it's worth worrying about the reflections on one of the faces.

Yes - the two in front are also out of size 🙂

Thank you @David in Яuislip Very kind of you to take the time to look at this and post the files.  Most helpful. Thank you John. I had spent quite a lot of time putting the trunk on the legs from the two images it was just trying to get the tone of his face somewhere I wanted to best match the others.
