High contrast black and white suits this damp and grey day.
Also it was easier to remove the dog which wondered into shot dragging something she had found.

Was the dog removal done with the clone tool?

Photoshop Elements Clone Tool I'm afraid as I was also using the Clone and Spot Healing brush to remove a bit of rubbish off the grass at the same time.
I was already in Elements as I used that for the black and white conversion while boosting the contrast and overlaying a film grain texture.
Original rather flat snap attached.
