A short summary of my workflow:
*Crop to 1.5:1 aspect ratio (4x6). Crop out distracting square on far right (edge of grill?), and moved lower 1/3 line to about the near shore.
*Cloned out 2x trashcans on left side, and the grill that was behind one of them. I toned down the brightly lit trashcan right side so that it blended in better. Misc other cloning of small distractions
* Levels
* Experimented w/ Black and White, rejected…
* Adjusted saturation, overall and specific color channels
* Selective burn and dodge, selective saturate/desaturate
* Applied Topaz Simplifier filter to layer, blended with original
This looks so beautiful! You've brought out the colors in the leaves, removed the features that would've likely been distracting and presented it in a pleasing ratio. Well done.
