If you don't want me messing with your photos just say the word.

First I leveled out the viewing perspective. Then I boosted the black levels, reduced gamma one step, increased the contrast center before adding a little more contrast. Then I brought out one of the colors hiding in the shadows.

I did a slight color adjustment and burned the leaves in the corner so they were not as distracting. Then I just did a quick cleanup. (this would be the most time consuming part)

This photo would look beautiful printed on metallic paper. It would really jump out at you. I changed the perspective and did a 5 x 7 trim trying to keep the composition pleasing to the viewer. (note: if you use a smaller aperture next time you can increase the level of detail)



All these are quite nice.
