A couple things I might try would be to increase your saturation in your camera settings and also maybe change to vivid. Also if your camera has the ability to you can play around with taking high dynamic range or hdr shots. This is where your camera will take 1 shot underexposed 1 shot it normal exposure and 1 shot a little over exposed and the result is usually pretty good.

Wow, nice pic.. i crop a bit with a bit data loss (cant get the right crop.. )... see whether it looks better? LOL, try vertical frame.. Learning by feeling takes 10 years to understand the basic.. I suggest that you buy the on-line ebook that speed up the learning curve... Never repeat the experiment the pros have undergo.. just learn their conclusion...Don't form your own conceptual design,, learn other well-established theories first...

I don't simply crop those images like that, and I crop with solid reasoning with the support of well-established theories. Whether I have done it right depends on how well i understand the theories..

If you bracketed your shots and shot RAW, you should have a lot of leeway in correcting the exposure. I believe the bright sky has caused the rest of the image to be underexposed. I thought Doug was going to say it, but beside HDR, you can make one jpg for the sky and one for the rest of the image and blend the two together using a layer mask. That's what I had to do on this shot:
