Summertime Kitty

I just love these #animalphotography Mondays, this time I better win for real, but if I don't - oh well.

As you may have guessed it will be another picture of my kitty cat just chilling in the yard being nice and good!

I really enjoy this picture of her, probably because I'm happy with the way it turned out after I edited it. I really dig the warm earth tones and the cat looks cozy and peaceful, ah what a great life she's living!

If you're curious to see how this picture used to look before I processed it in Photoshop, I'm going to post the original as well.
What I did to achieve this result was playing around with Hue, Saturation and Luminance sliders in RAW editor and a bit of Selective Color tool as well. Basically you just increase the warm colors' intensity and make sure all the cool ones like cyan, blue and greens are subdued.
The rest is your basic photo editing process.
