a 'look' for nature-ish shots

I'm shooting an estate on the weekend, and I'm looking for some ideas how to get a really nice look with the 150. It's the yard, the grounds, some swans, trees, that sort of thing. Client doesn't want much of camera movement to the shots. I've got some haze, UV,star, and a very strong ND filters. Forecast is Sunny and +22c.

Some really good colour out there, looking for something other than a harsh video look. Format is flexible, this is going to DVD, might never been seen in HD by client, but I still want to create something nice.
 
I used Cine V , and a rotating polarizing filter. Sun was high, but not overhead. No clouds, but pretty gusty. Got nice movement in the shots from the trees swaying, but the camera was also getting blown around. I think I'm screwed, now that I'm watching a few clips. Looks like I strapped a vibrator to the tripod. Crud. And most of the shots are at near or full zoom, just to get some DOF. I wonder if a de-shake filter could possibly help.
 
De-shake filters need points in the frame that don't move, so if all you have is branches swaying it'll be hard to lock onto a fixed reference point.
 
No, the camera/tripod was getting shaken , but I do have fixed objects in the shots. This was 720p60 , going to SD DVD , so I can can a bit of image quality hit. Used to have a filter back in my Premiere 1.5 days.. have to see what the current flavour of the month is.
