I was going for a very lush green and somewhat oversaturated entrance path to the house. I cropped it a bit and removed the people because they were a distraction. I made separate adjustments to the grass, trees and the house itself. All done in DXO PhotoLab Elite. It doesn't support layers, but has flexible local adjustment features. My second image is significantly more cropped to make the house a more prominent element, and to better show the tangled tree branches.
It is a tough choice for me between your cropped one and R.G.'s. I've been there numerous times and it is definitely not south of New Orleans. I tend to think of it as north of New Orleans as you travel the River Road from New Orleans to Baton Rouge. However, if you look at the map, it is west of New Orleans.
There are a quite a few beautiful old plantations along the River Road and weddings are held at several. If you are along that way, another of my favorites is Knotaway just a little further up the road towards Baton Rouge.
