Very little in post processing. I did a curves adjustment to lighten the image. Color balance to show the greens. I left the purple alone as this is how it looks in real life. Sharpened, added the border then resize and sfw.

The color spot is wonderful and the focus on it is very sharp. I find the background to be complex and confusing.
