This is very little work on the heron on the path, no matter what time it was. My pen now isn't working that well. Whatever I did I wrote down, so I didn't do much. RAW: Exp +30, Shadows O, brightness 38, contrast 30 saturation O,
luminence 8, Color noise reduction 38 (I can explain that if wanted).
In PS: Levels Enhance Mono conrast, snap neutrals, input 0 0.95 255
Saturation +25, USM 165 2.3 and 31 (as per Rutt's instructions, over lightly)

done

Below is the original RAW version, as near as I can tell. the way it was brought up looks a lot like the orig w/o any changes.
if I had had less pressure to do "less" as an experiment. I probably would have tried a bit of curves, maybe upped the yellow.
but I think the top one is already fine.

After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Natural RAW shot of the vegetation...... and heron
    Right from RAW, not touched or changed. I don't even know if the egret is in focus, I just saw a couple of these and thought that this might show how green, green can be naturally in places. The grounds man told me not to bother going down here as it was all grown up. I could see a bit of the marsh in places. It is very narrow, all that vegetation is in a narrow area, so you can imagine how much there is in other area. g
