Didn't have enough 'pop', so I threw another iteration of 'sharpen' on
it, clipped it a bit more to brighten the image which was too dark
overall, IMHO. I attempted to remove some of the purple cast by
adjusting the magenta color balance. I also attempted to move the
oranges more to the red side. I wouldn't be surprised if another
sharpen iteration should be used. That seems to have made the most
difference.
