At sunrise. These are planted adjacent to the path where I usually walk my dogs. Biggest challenge processing this was getting some depth to the grasses. I didn't want to go for a silhouette because I didn't think the sky was spectacular enough to hold center stage. Trying very hard not to oversaturate ;-)
PP - converted from RAW, cropped, increased saturation, blue gradient filter on very top of sky to deepen it, 2nd layer (HDR filter, Gaussian blur, merged in multiply mode), 3rd layer (selected grass highlights from HDR layer, merged in normal mode), increased contrast, added border, resized, sharpened seedheads, USM. |

Nice, simple with the sunset sublty in the bakground. It would be even better if the grasses were sharper. |
