I edited them in lightroom bringing the black and shadows down to set the completely against a black background instead of the grass.
I'm happy with the dark greens, the grain and the tone of the yellow. They look more like they are lit by the light of the moon instead of the afternoon sun.
The crackly details in the black and white image add more texture
