Some "ps magic" rescued this image from the throw away stack. The original shot of this orangutan was taken on a very bright day at the Cincinnati Zoo. The contrast was way too harsh but I liked the expression on her face. MANY adjustments including desaturating ( and converting to sepia) all color except for her, shadow highlight adj., color adj., ambient light and romance filter in vp, and light touch of warming filter. Original included below.
