I like the image, MtnMan. Tried to enhance the image by adding to the illusion of depth: increased contrast, added tone, introduced vignette. Another GIMP. Click download to see effect.

Had to be different due to a good mix of colored submissions.
Processed in CS5 Channels Monochrome, and then with the preset Vintage Grunge III under Film Collection in Topaz 5.

Beautiful greenery, since there was no distinguishable subject I decided to go with a split tone in LR using green for background and a magenta family for the highlights and then doing a bit of lighting effects with radial filters..
Thanks for an interesting variation. I've never used the split tone.
Not reality but art!

Thanks. I like how you brightened the moss on the trees.

Made a Duplicate Layer, then blended the two together using multiply - this made the image considerably darker but it also made the colors richer. I used Piccure + to sharpen the image, but the same could probably be done with the Unsharp Mask.
Thanks, Bob. I often use the Multiply layer approach but was discouraged in this case because of the dark areas. All RAW images need sharpening to finish them off. I usually just make do with Lightroom sharpening but am working with variations in CS6.

Greetings MtnMan'
Beautiful profusion of plants, but no center of focus to hold interest. Using dodge and burn I created a path to the center tree. Also used dodge and burn on the natural occurrences on the tree to help the imagination of the viewer.

Thanks for an interesting variation. I like the path idea.

Here's version 2 without the split town and a lot of dodge and burn to make stuff pop..

Here are 2 versions of touch-ups I did of your photo, one using Photo Shop and one using Photomatrix single photo tone mapping .

Used PS CC 2014 : Applied multiple additions of color range, changing each color toward the summer/fall colors. Used the burn tool to keep the foilage on the richer side. Saturation and light/darkness was insertred along with the color range adjustments.I may have gone overboard on the sturation, but heck, I was having too much fun to stop.

Ok, I hope this is at least a little bit different than some of the other submissions.
I isolated some of the leaves in the foreground and took down the glare. I then isolated some of the shadows and brought out a bit of detail. Also, I tried to bring out the light greens to add come depth. And a very, very small amount of sharpening. I also wanted the moss to stand out a little more since it's such a nice part of this photo. All of this was done with Nik Vivesa control points. I'm certain the same can be done in PS.
In LR I simply adjusted clarity, vibrance, contrast, and appropriate color channels. I don't recall exact slider settings but, it's adjust to taste for the most part. Different monitors have a certain influence too.
I attempted to draw the viewer into the woods and past the foreground. I also try to reproduce a rich natural look.
I always benefit from these exercises and hope it helps you with your work :wink:
EDIT: I just noticed that with the intent of adding a tiny amount of color, I think I may have over saturated the magenta a bit, which is more apparent on download :|
