Beautiful work Chris a lovely scenic for sure. I guess I caught this before you had a chance to show the original, but this one is a beaut without even seeing th original.

No flip, Nigel!
Just a lot of work with levels, feathered selections, contrast and hue & saturation.

Your enhancement of the original shot is most skilled. I am impressed. I have a few shots that could use this treatment...

way the beach provides a dividing line
in the composition.
Absolutely beautiful!

Didn't see the original, the white centre band looks almost like part of the frame. Like 2 separate images, the lower one being made from the upper image. A montage

Wonderful work with the PS, Chris! A great job of removing the haze and putting color into the picture. The final result is certainly a keeper. Perhaps you could do a step by step on one of your pictures as a tutorial for some of us recent converts to digital. Best wishes and thanks for your comments, Larry.

It's a beautiful scene in the original-soft and gentle tones; but, yes, lacking a little oomph. Your PS work brings out vibrancy and life. Great PS work.

Excellent work, strong colors and contrast are just after my fancy (you know). Interesting that you got a result I would have tried to get with layer masks and blending modes rather than with levels, contrast, and hue. A good example that often there are more than one possible techniques in PS

Instead of more talk on saturation, which has been pretty well discussed, I will just say that sometimes it's not a sin to have symmetry in a photograph. This is certainly an example of a good thing that can result.

Excellent Chris and a dramatic improvement on the original! Only one small negative - it looks like a small amount of noise has crept into the image - most noticeably in the reflected trees. Apart from that though, the colours are stunning, the clarity spot on and the reflections are awesome.

Chris,
As far as I am concerned you did nothing more than a good colour printer (and I mean a man who prints from an enlarger, not a machine) would do with a negative of the same quality as your original.
DSLRs are designed to capture all the detail. We then "print" those details into an image.
You did a very good job. Love the composition with the reflections and also the colours that you got out.
