All my in camera settings are at zero. I don't do a lot in PS as I find that not knowing how to do layers masks & things that the quality of the shots detieriate quickly when just worked on the desktop of PS. This was taken at about 6-15 in the morning so there's a lovely golden light. I normally half meter on the sky which tends to saturate the colours & keeps the sky looking natural. I just gave it two USMs of 100--.3--0 I lowered with curves a little & tweaked the brightness & contrast, normally brightness -8 & contrast +8 & that's about it. Sometimes I use the Dodge & burn tool & the little sponge to saturate or desaturate small areas of a picy

Yes, it does look good. What kind of color work did you do, or is that all in camera? Could the time of day (level of sun) have something to do with it as well.
