Two fundamentals problems with the image:
- Color temperature isn't quite right
- Not many values to work with in these trees, so any change there will create blobs
- Convert image to high-precision
- Add a very low HSV noise (just enough V to make the histogram continuous) to avoid being hit by quantization problems
- Colors > Color temperature to improve the color temperature (eyeballed it...)
- Create a luminosity mask that covers the tree and the lawns (pretty much a dark/midtones one, with the water painted over at the bottom)
- Using the mask a a selection, add a slight boost to the Green channel in Curves
