I don't know how or why I try to come up with cleaver names for images seems to be the thing to do, grassy dreams was all that I could come up with for this.
I wanted to post it after looking at and getting inspiration by Scott's post with an Orton effect. It's one image that I have kept a good amount of the effect on. I typically apply it and then start backing it off to were there is just a hint of a darker tone and contrast applied. It's a shot when taken I pushed far right on the histogram. Taken just after sunset in low light. The Orton effect just seemed to work well for me here.

Brad,
I think this looks great and the effect is perfect for the grass in this shot.

Brad, I like this as an abstract and all the splashes of different shades are nice. It resembles a very detailed painting.
