I know, it's not really original but I like to do coloration.

This was just done with many adjustment layers and masks. I also copied the blue channel to get some of the highlights back. I used a layer set to color dodge and another set to color burn and used a 5% opacity brush to pain in shadows and highlights. At the end I used the Shadow/highlight filter.

image desaturated, new color layer added, some leaf color erased, drips of colored added by pen tool, color adjustment.
