Description

Hello,

Shot on January 2022, the Monkey Head was an absolutely uninteresting project of mine, at least compared with others. As such, processing was spread along the year, several versions were made but none convinced me. I simply wasn't able to properly highlight the structures, especially the low scale dark ones nor how to make it color richer (HOO pallete can be quite dull). I think now I managed to do it and hope not going overboard with it.
Also, making a tight crop on the full FOV (see version C) helps and suddenly, from a dull FOV an lively photo can be extracted.
I hope you enjoy.
