Shot in a national park here in quebec. That guy seemed to like having a lot of company since we were half a dozen taking images of him. Editing: converted from RAW in ACR with negative exposure compensation and low contrast to restore some of the blown highlight, cropped and desaturated there. In photoshop, Level to increase contrast, curves on the underexposed part of the face and neck. USM 60% 34px radius to increase local contrast. Added sepia tone with saturation. Resized to 640px, USM 400% 0.3px on a layer copy in order to erase the background. I didn't wanted to sharpen there. Added a 1px white border inside. Dowsized to 630px, increased again canvas size to 640px added a brownish color layer droped it into the background. flatened, saved for web and here it is. Hope it do well!
