I agree with jerry41. If you've still got the finished product on your computer and haven't saved it over the original, I'd go back and on each of the changes you made before, drop them back about 1/4 of the way. The yellows are overly bright and have lost the details of the veins in the leaves. I'd back off a bit on the reds as well. The blues I'd leave as you did. - Just my opinion and I'm definitely no expert (not even sure if I qualify to be a novice.)

Both are OK by me. It would all depend on how they print. Most of my printing has the colors a little less than the original, so printing #2 would tone it a bit.

the bottom one has too much saturation

It depends … if you're looking for "natural" then the first is underdone and the second is overdone. If not, then it's anybody's guess.

I much prefer the natural look of the original. I like it a lot.

I think that depends on one's taste and intent. I actually prefer the first one. Some like things that look unnatural and so would prefer the second one.

I can believe the first one while the second simply screams Photoshop. Pretty though.

I PP 1-st picture and I am not sure if I overdone it or not. What do you think?


I like reasonably vivid colors . That said, I think the first photo is the better of the two.
The second photo has color that is over-saturated in my opinion. As others have suggested, the original needs more contrast rather than more color.
