I like this picture, especially the foreground. The background is a bit washed out; can you use a photot editer to "under-expose" it a bit to perserve the depth of the color back there?

I really like the depth of field and sharpness of the grass, but the whites and blacks are a little too washed out. It might be possible to pull some detail out of the wood and sky at the same time with some careful pp. Or if possible, the shot might lend itself to HDR, since there is a pretty wide range of light here.
