Grey’s Adventure In The Park

The out-of-camera original had the background a little too bright trying to make sure that the squirrel was well lit.

So in post, the lower portion of the image with the squirrel in it was separately brightened up while exposure for the background was rendered darker. Mid-tones for the whole image were then darkened further a little. This was all done with the DNG raw file.
