oh to bring out the green whilst in RAW I dropped blue a little and boosted a bit of yellow, then in photomatix adjusted the strength of the colours also, this was a very flat all midtones image and if it wasn't for photomatix and RAW this would have been a binner due to the Clouds

This was taken very early morning and the sun just rising wasn't bright enough so the whole image was very flat and gray, a little later and the sun would have been behind a lot of cloud so I took a few photos anyway, when home I put multiple exposures into photomatix then used dodge and burn in photoshop to add Localized contrast, then sharpened a bit but not too much :)
