step 2 of 3

I lost a step here due to my bad saving.. so i will describe..

In this picture, I copied the kangaroo into a new layer, duplicated it as an overlay and added small Gausian blur to it.

On the background I burned the highlights and midtones further away to the kangaroo to make it look like it was in a spotlight.

and finally added an Ocean ripple filter to the background

step 3 of 3

After the Ocean ripple filter the original kangaroo was visible behind my newer kangaroo layers so i used the clone stamp around it to rid me of this problem.

Finally i added an adjustment layer and gave it a brown hue.
