Max my colors and make me happy in these dark dull times

Hi!
I am looking for someone who can push this image to the max without making it look off the chart. I want positive vibes, colors, etc. Please remove everything that might be in the way.

This looks very cool. May I ask, what we see here?

Here a first take on it. Quite different to yours I think, anyway colourful

Hard to explain. A jar with water, oil, glycerin over two pieces of cardboard. Lots of light.
This guy makes similar stuff:

It just lends itself to so much interpretation.

My attempt. I’m not very good at abstracts.

From outside the pale, I wonder how a color can be “maxed”? Like in RGB 0-255 per channel and for example a color 10,10,254, “maxing” it to 10,10,255 would make no discernible difference to it’s appearance.

So I decomposed it to Hue, Saturation, Lightness in the the GIMP, set the Saturation layer to max (255) and re-composed it.

FWIW

My proposal with a hue shift.

When it comes to tweaking such an image, it’s easy to play around with the different hues.

I do not understand what you did but the result is nice. Very vibrant and light.

My version…
