I think you simply need to convert it to ASCII. |

Your link is bad. We can't see the photo, so don't know what you are asking about.

It's tough to comment when we can't see the pic. The url you tried to display is:
https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=f5aa1d4986&view=att&th=12ca3e874bed2474&attid=0.1&disp=inline&zw
which I assume points to your gmail account? Can you post the photo somewhere it can be seen? |

 yo_spiff will be the first to tell you that I am NOT a fan of too much tone mapping. A little is great and can really improve the look of a picture but anything other than a VERY light hand is too much.
I much prefer a more realistic look without unrealistic coloring but tone mapping does improve contrast and brings out detail that might otherwise go unnoticed.
So from PPP, I choose in the Effects to use Topaz Adjust or to use Clarify depending on what's needed. Less is more though so I don't usually do both but do upon occasion because Steve has said that they both do tone mapping but differently. So, a light touch of both can sometimes be the right trick.
My two cents aren't worth much but they didn't cost you anything.
Good luck and have fun playing with your pictures to make them POP off the page.

| Yeah I agree it's probably tone mapped. Shadow/Highlights in Photoshop might get you part way there. |

The real answer to how to tone a Photo like that is with lighting techniques. Then after that you do some Post processing. You can nearly get that photo with lights and modifiers.

Looks like a cartoon. I think this will get you similar results.

| You can certainly get this effect using Topaz Adjust. |

| dodge and burn would have been the way forward earlier but now a standard topaz program will do the job. |
