[PLAYRAW] backlighted pelican

This gliding pelican reminds me of the LAAT of Star Wars.

I was working so hard to preserve the detail of its rear end but then I pivoted to something entirely different.

1. PhotoFlow → HL mode (none) → lens corrections (all) → linear Rec2020 (no clipping) → 32f
2. gmic → crop (1.5:1) → sharpen (high freq contrast) → blends (HLG, retinex, negate) → adjust brightness, contrast (curves on face) → sketch via multiple steps → resize

Zoom 100% and enjoy!
