The FG has a lot of weird aftifacts too, again stemming from NR and even it it was warm & sunny, Heat haze wouldn't play a factor like this.Bob, did you also use elements like Texture & Clarity, because the are similar, however they work in slightly different ways, also adding in some saturation in part and in it's nature, some 'Contrast sharpening' because they is what they do in effect.The attached RP is less than ideal, but taking some of the cast out of the grasses, reducing Contrast, Back, Clarity & some Texture, reducing the FG exposure there is things you can look at.TFSSteve
