A very subtle change int the shade of the grass. It is still not right. That was the only tinkering for today. That was a well fertilized pasture but the correct hue of green is just not captured.
Here's one. I tried tweaking it subtly which is what I normally prefer, but no matter what I did it just wasn't interesting to me. So instead I just went overboard and did much more than I would normally ever do to a picture.

And here's the image in a larger size if anyone wants to play with it (I couldn't upload it full size):

Not having seen the scene but similar scenes from another photographer from this area of the country this is what my mind is seeing. I took some saturation out of the greens, and opened up the background and one would see standing at the point the photo was taken at. Good tweaking can take a week of visits and revisits to the file when it is an important job. You see things different each time you go back. Ansel Adams would spend a week sometimes just to get conditions right before taking the shot. My old digital prof would spend a week tweaking a photo before it went to print. With the tools I have I spent about ten minutes looking and thinking... and would probably see things different in a day or two. I'm off to do some shooting for a few days.
^^I'd say that's a very accurate portrayal of how the scene appeared in person. It was overcast but not dark, so the lighting was soft. My original shot is darker than the real thing because I tend to underexpose my shots to prevent blowing out the highlights. I probably had the camera in Velvia mode, but I can't remember for certain.
Lamp, was that taken at Hoh or nearby? That was a challenging place for me to photograph but then my camera then was rather limited in ISO range.
