Need help changing photo-cant make this work

[rich2005]

No curve ? I think it is because that part of the procedure the  image is black / white.

   

For a colouring book ? Image choice is going to be important. For me the cat, while a lovely subject is a bit too 'busy'.

Might be better leaving the background as is, simplify down to outlines, some handwork perhaps. Needs more time devoted to it   https://i.imgur.com/nxn5vR2.jpg
