Left: F2.8, 1/30, ISO-100 (Exposure adjusted later on LR)
Right: F2.8, 1/50, ISO-100

Little experiment with software.

The exposure value is adjusted to match both image is same or very close (Lightroom).
Two images are both cropped and tiled on a a black background layer (Photoshop).
The top is the original natural colour version and the next one is one I add 100% vibrance to the photo by LR before arranging on the background layer.

3 image into 1 by Photomarge.

Second image added after receiving comment from ndiginiz.
Crop angle -.078
Contrast +50
Black Clipping +10
Highlight Recovery +50
Extra blending adjustment in Photoshop.

I have decided to do not to much alternation, but hey playing with Lighroom to change to B+W, even sepia tone, or adding more vibrancy to colour will transform this photo to totally different image. It's fun but I need to stop somewhere... I think the second image is better already. Thanks ndiginiz!
