I've altered it slightly to add a bit more colour to it. What I'd like to know is... Is the colours ok now or are they too over the top

I don't think the colors are over the top, but I do think it's need some cropping and straightening. Just my 2cents.

Its a cool shot, first thing i noticed was the colors on the hillside and my question was going to be "is that for real?!" but you answered that in your post... so on your "too over the top" question, I guess I answered you back

Neat view. For the colors there ok not sure what colors you altered on the hills in background. For what someone mentioned to crop wondering what they would crop? Would it be some of the water, or some of the stuff to the right side?
Thanks for sharing..

I personally would crop the top to just above that tallest big dark tree behind the house. Then I would crop on the right side of the picture (on the side with darker trees). I would crop just to the right of the bench/square thing to the right of the house, close to where that stick/tree pokes out of the top of the bush.

I think that will make the house less smack dab in the middle, yet still keeping the pretty water and the colorful hills.

But I am very new and I may be all wrong. I don't think my crop idea gets close enough to the rule of thirds. And it does not do any straightening.

I only boasted the colour saturation

What I said about cropping. Never mind. I was going crop happy that day. Sorry. I like the picture. The colors make the house really white and it stands out nicely, but not too much.

The yellow stuff on the hills looks too yellow to me. On the other hand, I haven't been out of the desert in so long I may not remember what a hillside of buttercups (or whatever) looks like.
