Hey Mark,
I think there might be a different lighting situation that's creating some of the difference. In the case of the one of him facing left, his whole head (and body) is under undiffused daylight, and in the studio portrait, there's more of a controlled environment that might only have a north-facing window or a skylight, so light is going to catch it differently. I think that difference alone might make for some of the discrepancy. Also, he's about 12 years older in that outdoor shot, so perhaps age has something to do with it. Oooorrr, it might be because the studio portrait is just a color study, so I didn't really flesh it out as much as the other portrait.
Perhaps it's a mix of all three? Or, maybe worse, I just screwed it up. I'm not quite sure, to be terribly honest.
Regarding the Yankees team shot, I'll try and take some photos of it tomorrow when the light is better.
