Orchid Tree @ the Calgary Zoo

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this. I suppose it could be a "nature" or an "interiors" shot.

So, I've shot this tree at the Zoo probably two or three times a year, for what is 15 years now (I think). I'm absolutely fascinated by it. I love the tree, the orchids, the woodwork, the stone, the little flowing stream at the base of the tree . . . I just love it all. I never seem to get it right, though. It absolutely takes my breath away in person, and I'm always ultimately disappointed with what I produce.

I'm kind of pleased one with shot from today. Here are two different edits:

(I have cloned out one light-switch and a garbage can from the image.)

Very cool display! I can see why you are enamored with it. I vote for the first. The desaturated version, to me, seems to rob the display of the lush colors that draw us to the vitality of living foliage.
