Hello,
We went to the Olympic Peninsula last weekend and I took a lot of photos of the rainforest which was an incredible lush green color. I used a circular polarizer, but my photos dont even approach the lush green colors that I was seeing. What can be done if anything?
Can I do anything in Lightroom now?

Thank you

Lightroom can definitely help you. I recently switched to RAW and am finding that nature shots always need some PP adjustments or the colors look flat compared to the real scene I was shooting.

Increase the black levels ever so slightly. Should resolve some of the green.

also try adjusting curves as the S-curve usually can bump it a notch.
