What kind of PP did you do? I don't see anything stand out. Was this a HDR attempt?
All i see is a nice scenery that seems to be a litle flat because of the harsh light. If it were me, i would got and push the PP a bit more to make the shot stand out.

It looks like you're lacking in dynamic range here -- meaning, everything is fairly bright. There isn't much range between bright and dark. Was this HRD'd?

Seeing as the exif data is still intact, I'm guessing it wasn't' an HDR attempt.

I'd try and boost the contrast, the photo just look a little over exposed. It could have been the time of day, but at early morning or late evening as the sun sets, those rocks could look like they are on fire. Sitting next to the green plants, and a blue sky, that would be an awesome shot.

I think with some smart PP on the picture, you could really bring out some great color.

Id say it was under processed, decent shot as it stands but it could be so much better.
Processing is a real steep learning curve though, just spend a while playing and you will get better quicly.

What Im seeing is its a bit lacking in contrast and the greens are a bit too high.....they almost glow.
But then again not seeing it as a too much....its just that they are are a bit birghter green than I would imagine they are naturally.
You are good at the processing side but doesnt really seem like you did alot here.
Being a desert scene when its gets hazy its hard to get contrast and dynamic range. I was just in AZ and had the same thing going on.....
