I took this picture earlier this year and I re processed it on lightroom 3. I am going to post the original and the post processed one. I might also add a few other pictures later for opinions.
I lie the colors in origial. In you edit you didn't monochromed it but partially removed the colors and to me it seems like camera/user error. F you are using LR, or PS drop the vibrance down to 20-25% and boost the contrast/or clarity up
