 tried to make this look like one of the great shots that Ursula does so well!

It doesn't have circles for bokeh, so I expect to get some DNMC votes. Predict a score of 5.6.

PP - opened raw in CS3. layers for levels and curves. noise ninja, then USM at large radius. selective color layer to bring out the brown color in the grass and boost the greens and blues. a couple of good doses of USM (large radius again for the glow, and small radius for final sharp). resize, added border.

Nice colours and lines. I'd like to see just a little more in focus, and less reds in the PP.

Steve, this shows really well. As I was passing through, my temptation was to give it an 8, and then I remembered it was yours, sorry I can't vote!
