I thought the main post will get too big, so I'm putting this separately
The steps I took were
NeatImage
FocusMagic (2px)
CM - basic shadow/Hilight + skinPin
PS in Lab to change the colour of the grass, modified by BlendIF (would have done this in CM is there was a BlendIF feature! Hey Mike, SmartCurve has it, could CM?)
PS, my standard lab saturation Action - for grass & sky, with a+ve removed by BlendIF
K channel Mask Sharpen (amount 77%, radius 33px, Threshold 3) to make a substantial difference to the far hill contrast
I think I guess the grass it too green, if this was Africa, but then I like blasting colour!

Ah, I thought the grass should be worn out brown - never mind - it is always fun to change the colours of different parts of the image.
If you subtract the colour change to get winter, you get this.
I think the major influence on this scan was neatImage & FocusMagic - I use FM a lot as it actually improves the focus, without the halo sharpen effect.
