Default autumn landscape

I took this on a camping trip at Sylvan Lake state park in CO, I used the vivid setting on my camera to help some the yellows and blues to stand out, is it too much? Also, any other advice is greatly appreciated.

Nice use of foreground objects {grass}, mimics the colors of the mountains, and also reflection. Maybe you could have used polarizer to bring out the sky more. All in all a good shot.

Beautiful! I don't think the color saturation is too much. This is Colorado, and that's the way it looks in the fall. I live in Gunnison, and the colors were so awesome! Some people said that they weren't as vibrant this year, but they sure were here!
Nice shot. That lake looks serene, and I love the reflection of the aspens in it.

Great colors! The vivid setting obviously brought those out and accentuated the bright hues of fall!

One thing I'd like to see is more foreground. Often times a great image is about balance or dynamic tension between foreground and background. It's the relationships between different subject elements that helps tell a story and lead the viewer's eye around the frame.
