Hi everyone. I was revisiting some images I took in Turkey and I found this one interesting to edit according to the workflow suggested on Darktable.info. What do you think of this photo, a cat in the ruins of Ephesus, Turkey?
It seems nice to me. Any suggestions? (I used Google Translate pt-br >> us).

I had a little bit of fun with this image, I hope you don’t mind. The look on the cat’s face was too irresistible!

Can you post your edit as it is missing from the original post?
It’s a great image, albeit challenging (for me) to make kitty stand out when it has a similar colour and texture to the surrounding wall. My version using darktable 5.4:
I thought that sending the XMP file would solve it… I’ll take care of it tonight. Right now I’m at work in another city and without my laptop.
crazy cat with red eyes
The other option with DT. Balancing the spread of the highlights and shadows
