Also, what are you rendering with? Firefly or Superfly?

Anyhow, it looks like it's got the old Ambient fudge switched on, which is why all the detail is smeared out into a generalized colour.

Best bet, IMO, is to run it through Snarly's EZSkin, whichever flavour is appropriate for your render type. Great results every time, next to no faffing about, either.
