I'm not sure if you want or like this look, but here are my steps (in Photoshop):
1. Using Levels, I darkened the image slightly
2. I boosted the color saturation by about 15%
3. I selected the blues and Cyans and added a little black
4. I burned the pathway at 10%
5. I dodged the bush in the center of the photo to bring out some of the details.
6. I added a 5 pixel border
7. I had to make the image smaller to save it at at least 75% quality. I still lost some color and rich tones at 75%.
Super shot; it was fun to work with. Again, I'm not sure you like it this way, but thanks for the opportunity!
