Default Grass!

HI all,

I Decided to go into the yard this afternoon and take some photos. I tinkered around with this one for a while and actually liked the black and white version. This was my first go using split toning and highlights with Lightroom 2 so any feedback with that would be great - or any other comments in general

I tightened the crop so the focus was more on the mondo grass
increased the temp a by 5 and decreased the tint a little bit.
decreased exposure by .10 and increased contrast by 7.
converted to greyscale and fiddled with the yellow, orange and green
added a sepia-ish highlight under the split toning drop down box.

Think that's all!
