Frankly this photo probably wasn't worth the time and effort I put into processing it. I've given up here and posted it to the world. I went back and forth between over-saturated and true color so to speak. It was of course more towards true color to begin with, sort of drab and lifeless, and didn't really give the feel of actually being in such a lush, green, beautiful place. I decided to push it towards dramatic and then went back and forth on what's too much, not enough, who cares, what looks better, and what my intention is behind communicating the scene. Mostly this was a learning photo for me. I practiced quite a few new techniques and the layers became bafflingly complex. I'm not really 100% satisfied, but part of that may be that was that I was never sure the image was compelling to begin with. Trying to make something out of nothing perhaps.
