Hi Paul, I pulled down the bright green by making a selection around the area and using Replace Color. It really seemed to help the balance of the pic quite a bit. I've completely changed my mind about this being a color pic. I brought the lightness and saturation down to -25 and moved the Hue up to about +5. I really enjoyed fiddling with this one - it's really a nice capture.
