Some Time, And A Revision

I thought I'd take a break from New Mexico themed photos, and post something a bit different...  I took this photo (or, to be more specific, a previous version of this photo) several years ago at the Denver Botanic Gardens.  I've always "liked" this shot, but been bothered by the fact that it was a tad bit overexposed, washed out.  I was spending the afternoon revisiting some old shots, and I decided to "tweak" it a bit in Lightroom to see if I could "improve" it (the original shot can be found here)...
