Spring green in the woods

I took an impromptu hour drive yesterday morning to a WMA (wildlife management area) to see if there was anything photogenic. By the time I arrived the sky was light grey muck but I drove around it bit nonetheless. This is just a turn in the road, about the “best” I found. Hopefully in the fall it’ll be better with some color.

GIMP.
Boosted the colours and slight increase in mid-range contrast.

Spring seems quite a way on where you are. I’m not happy with the sky.

Used Toy Blur filter and modified the mask to taste and then some additional things including pushing the saturation of the yellows. :slight_smile:

Hi Len, it looks like you live in a nice place from all your photos. I liked your edit as I often do. My edit is a bit vanilla, but I used a square crop just for the sake of being different.

Beautiful photo. Thanks for sharing
In levels I pushed up the reds, yellows then greens. Enhanced contrast, Magic detail and sharpened (unsharp mask).
Was surprised how much green there was further down in the photo.
