RE: darker

check now.

This one is wierd. I could spend hours with it in PS color balance and not be satisfied. If I adjust saturation upward the overall tone goes dark blue. Kind of attractive but unnatural.

D70s: White bal was set to daylight, 0. Filter used is B&W 010 (uv) used as general purpose uv and lens protection. The raw file came out with a predominant dark blue cast. If I alter the raw (NEF) file adjustments for white bal in PS I can radically change the tones. Cloudy or shade settings adds a yellow cast and replaces the blue tones with gray.

I did darken the midtones in 'PS levels' a few points for the image as it appears now. I think what I have now is fairly close to how I remember the color tones of the scene. You were right. It needed to darken.
