>>3444778In post? Just masking some curves adjustments to the cat area or brightening the whole thing and clamping the highlights down since that'll only be snow. For my shitty JPEG edit it was a really blurred mask made from the blue channel since that was mostly snow with very little cat. It'd look better if the masking on the cat was painted to look more like directional light rather than just amping up ambient light but I've got somewhere to be this morning.
>>3444777Edit out the green twigs under the cat and try dodge/burning the form of the cat to be a little more present through the use of an overlay layer into which you paint soft and low-opacity white/black brush strokes. It'll clean it up a lot.
