Jack - I wasn't thinking of post capture processing for improved light, although that may produce the desired result. What I was referring to, & should have stated, was the better light around sunrise to an hour or so after & the light from about an hour or so before sunset. Those conditions both before & after sunrise & sunset are generally known as the golden light, where the light is being filtered through the atmosphere above the horizon. A diffuser would also help to soften the light in this case, if you had to shoot it when you did. I've shot in harsh light & used both a diffuser (to soften the light) & a gold reflector to enhance the color slightly.
