This underexposed image has sufficient detail that each of you should
be able to improve the image substantially by adding contrast and color
in Lab.
Hint: make start by treating this as a black and white image. Use Lab
mode, or HSB. Make the curve window as large as possible, and make very
fine adjustment to create a very steep curve in the shadows, while retaining,
as always, as much highlight detail as possible.
Once you have some reasonable detail in the face, your next challenges
are getting a good neutral, adding color, and keeping the head ornaments
from turning blue
Do not expect this very challenging image to turn out perfectly. Although
this is an expert image, several of you are already adept enough to tackle
this image.
