Using Photoshop Elements, I went to "enhance::Adjust Lighting::Levels". I moved the sliders over the flat lines on the histogram from the left and the right. Then I adjusted for the midtones. Lastly I made a pass with the sharpening tool.
I was trying to bring out the colors more.
Hope you like it.

I selected the subject & feathered the edge at one pixel. Then I applied a large dose of NR to your BG.

1. Reduced shadows and increased highlights.
2. Adjusted the levels, mid tones.
3. Created duplicate layer, on the duplicate I increased levels to make the shot brighter, then used Gaussian blur on the image. I then selected the blending option "Multiply". I then merged the layer back visible.
4. Adjusted the curves to bring in more light.
5. Slight sharpening using smart sharpen in CS 2.

I thought this version is more interesting artistically, though some would argue that it no longer represents nature with accuracy.
Technique: in Photoshop, select BLUE channel, convert to grayscale, then crop.
