I used a K mask and LAB to do this. 

I then did a second pass in LAB to bump the colors.  After I got back, I lowered the opacity.

Steve,
Remember this image is about balancing the two halves of the image.  You need to make the tonality match and then add saturation.  A blurred Saturation Mask really can make this image pop...

In Shot 1 I have a Saturation mask with light blur applied to it.  I have then adjusted your posted version using this mask to bring the tonality down in the lower half and add a ton of color using saturation slider.
