Evolution of an image....help

One of the ways to avoid getting a reputation as a lousy photographer is to hide your bad pictures, of which I have many. But as time passes and winter boredom sets in it is tempting to pull out the rejects and see what you can do with one or two of them. So that led to my digging out this photo from the 1997 rotary run. The original slide looked like this.
Way too blue, too dark, blown highlights, no warm glint color. Not great. Hmm...maybe I can do something with it in Photoshop. Which led to this result.
And then a second attempt.
Better but no banana. I wonder what it would look like in B&W. And maybe with a blue filter.
Well, not sure if any of them deserve a banana but it was a fun effort. The "help" part in the title is looking for feedback as to whether any of them are worth saving, I get too involved to be objective.
