I copied your new image and loaded it into PhotoShop and tried a simple 
adjustment of saturation.  If fixed the green OK but had the side effect 
of reducing brightness quite a bit.  So I turned it into a JPEG and 
reloaded it such that it came up in ACR.  In ACR I turned down both the 
green and orange saturation levels a bit and added a bit of clarity. 
Now it looks very good.  I can always do things in ACR very simply which 
sometimes stymie me completely or else are more complex in PhotoShop.  I 
do wish PhotoShop would implement identical controls as in ACR.
