Bonobo Monkeys on the Way to the Kapok Tree
Above is an image of a group of Bonobo Monkeys heading over to the Kapok tree for a day of fun. The Jacksonville Zoo recently upgraded to include this wonderful feature for various species to give them a chance to spend some time in a different environment. I was lucky enough to catch a pretty nice silhouette of the group. Not much was done to the image in PS. Two Curves Adjustment Layer were added. The background color was created by using a Selective Color Adjustment Layer and adding to the Whites Cyan (-15), Magenta (-5), Yellow (-39), and Black +3); and to the Neutrals Yellow (+16) and Blacks (+17) – it gives this beautiful yellow background coloration. A Levels Adjustment Layer was applied with the Output set to 9/255 and the Black regular tab set to 230 to slightly flatten out the black tones. And a couple clean up layers were needed for some of the tree branches. That was about it. I really like the final result…..Digital Lady Syd
