 Mytoi Japanesse garden on Chappaquiddick Island - Martha's Vineyard

Wasn't sure how I wanted to process this. Attempt #2 (result prior to posterization of #1)

Editing Steps:
1) Isolate masks for Highlights/Midtones/Shadows
2) Apply curves to each of the above to tone map the dynamic range
3) Apply Red/Yellow/Green saturation to midtone region
4) Apply overall saturation to shadow region
5) Desature all but the bridge, using channel mixer in gray scale +28/-22/+136.

Selective desat is one of those things that sometimes works but more often doesn't. It's also a matter of taste. I don't think it works well for this scene - you lose the peacefulness of it because to me the desat is a bit jarring. Does that make sense?
