I like it! I disagree with toning the colors down. The way I see it, photography is an art, and how you express your images is all about your style. We wouldn't tell a painter to tone the colors down on an oil painting, would we? I think this is a well executed shot. Digital Landscape photos these days almost never look the same as how you saw them when it was taken, they are heavily processed to look amazing...
I keep coming back and looking at this! I've fished on the Salton Sea as a kid, still have the scar on my forehead from a fish hook. I remember driving by there with my family on the way to Havasu and Yuma hundreds of times and it never looked as beautiful as your photo- great capture!
, Tim this is salton sea very close to the place we shoot birds
