Default Over Saturated?

Another shot from a recent trip to Cuba. The colours were fairly bright in the original but I have boosted the contrast, saturation and then sharpened this image. Have I gone too far? Any other comments about composition etc... welcome.

Exif:

19mm
F/10
ISO100
1/80
Manual

I personally love the colors and processing in general, it's a great shot! No doubt some may favor less color saturation, but to be honest, at the end of the day, if you like it, that's the main thing!

I think a little extra saturation suits the subject. Just the PLYMOUTH letters look a little too red to me.

Thanks Sox Addict - I like the shot generally, just wasn't 100% sure about the pp.

Sterling - I think you've hit the nail on the head. I'll desaturate the reds a bit and see if that improves things. I knew something about it didn't quite work, but couldn't figure out what!
