This is another hard one. I'm eager to hear where I went wrong.

Let's tackle the LAB version first.
On my screen....

The grass is too. green...what I mean by that is it does not have enough yellow in it..but the fix is subtle and simple...

Shot1 is your ACV file loaded with the default image.  It looks great with the grass being a bit too "green"  

Shot2 is a mark on the grass so I can find the B channel adjustment area I need to hit.

Shot 3 is the mouse in the center of the B channel adjustment at the end of the adjustment.  As you can see the change is small...

Shot 4 is the whole screen.  Note the improvement to the color of the tiger as well as the grass...The area circled next to the mark in the grass is an area you can watch to see if you have gone too far with the adjustment...it starts to turn colors when you go to far...
You can leave you image alone if you wish...  

Try adjusting the B channel a bit and see if the grass can be a better "green"

Looking at the RGB I'd have to say it has a similar green issue but not as strong.  I played around with the shadow end of the RGB curve and in the end I liked your choice for the image.

I opened my finished version and then corrected the b channel. I agree it looks better. It has a warmer feel. Thanks again for your help.
