Just a shot I took today before it started to rain

How much did you bump the saturation levels?

This is the original shot. I am really into making the colors "pop" right now. I jus think that it adds a little more to the photo

now see.. this is a lot better of an angle. and you definately bumped the saturation and contrast way to high.

the only thing i might do here is check my curves.

 

[a5i736]

the original is way better

I know what you mean by making the colour pop out but sometimes it doesnt need it.

I agree with a5i736 and prefer the original.
Could also do with straightening.

You were right to try and improve the colour but saturation is not the best approach. This was done with a polarizing filter. Put the original and this side by side and you will see the difference.
