i'm not sure about having my monitor calibrated, but but in the OP's original PP image it looks very over saturated to me.






but in Tom's PP image the Colors still POP but do not look to be over done at all.



and the OG image for reference

Ditto, here. The pp'd image looks too saturated on my monitor as well. My monitor has not been officially calibrated but prints I had made just this week by Adorampix were spot on with the colors as they appeared on my monitor.

In addition to the saturation, think perhaps the luminance of the reds, oranges and yellows might do better if they were lessened just a bit.

Yup......over saturated to a point to where the reds are just too red as well as the greens are too green. You could go in curves and bring out some of the colors so that it's doesn't look like you went into color saturation and bumped it up way too much.

Ditto, the second is too saturated. Maybe some of these "calibrated" monitors aren't so calibrated ?????

wow, i liked the original just fine. But the after shot was a big pop reaaally eye catching!
