I have to add this disclaimer that I'm only an advanced beginner in PS, so there was probably an easier, more time-efficient way of doing this :wink:
As you can see in this untouched "before" shot, there was a lot of haze & unclarity in this pic, due to shooting through the fence. What I did was a very heavy "Local Contrast" treatment, then again on just the eyes, using a Quick Mask, with more saturation & contrast added to them as well. From there, I very lightly "painted" in my color where it was hazy or missing around it's ears. Also did a couple others things I've already forgotten about
Spent a total of about 1 1/4 hrs on it, but am now fairly pleased with the results. I just couldn't let this pic go into the bin, since his intense stare was well worth saving imho. Your thoughts on this process?
