Previously I tried to find a happy medium between these two, but the medium I landed on was anything but happy.  For the last week or so I've been working on another approach:  I split the photo into foreground and background layers, applied separate color correction to suit each layer, then combined them, erasing the background areas from the foreground layer.  Here's the result:

Doug,
   It looks great to me, the best of the other two.  It's astonishing what
the big green filter of a forest canopy will do to light.  Or, actually,
that our vision will see that happening and tune it out for us.  It is
well known we don't really see color, but color differences.
