Brian,
Your image is very well handled...

I tried hard to find major problems and have to say that while I felt I could improve the image it was only slightly.
That being said...and it is important believe me...

Take a look at the before and after images below.  Shot1 is my adjustment...SLIGHT...and shot 2 is your images as posted.
The two issues you have here are mid-tones and a slight color cast.  The mid-tones adjustment adds a richness to the colors, especially the greens.

The color cast is more of a feeling...when I opened the image it felt "wrong"...so I went looking.  This is a case of the "test of time" try taking a little break from the image after you have finished it and come back and see if it looks right.  If it does then you are good to go...if you find fault on the revisit then you might want to add more work to the correction.  Simultaneous contrast is a bit tricky to recognize in you own work...

Greg

Got it Greg.  I've still have to work on that eye a bit.
