There was some darkening in photonet but of the many workprints the ones with a darker foreground worked better in the image. Therefore, I left the foreground a little dark. In defense of the land, there had been a lot of rain so the grass was unusually green; with an orange filter all sorts of mayhem occurred.

The image would have benefitted from some lightening of the bottom part, but then again, perhaps Photo.Net has darkened it automatically--it seems to do that to the pictures I upload there.
