This location certainly has a lot of potential and the colors look quite near peak. Not sure what you captured this with but it appears to be pretty noisy and I would tone down the processing a bit. There are lots of sharpening halos and the saturation is a bit much. Note the bleed off of color into the distance and the muddiness of the clouds in the sky.

If you have a good raw file or can revisit the location with better equipment you can probably take a second chance at a better image.

Admittedly it is pumped up and this was my first crack at trying to remove a lot of haze from an image. After staring at the image in Lightroom for so long I think a lot of that was lost on me over time. I shoot everything in raw so I will definitely give this image another shot. Thanks for your feedback!

Too much saturation. It does not look real. Would be great with less saturation.

It's not only saturation. Contrast too, is too high. Clarity too, maybe? Sometimes, if the conditions aren't right for what you have in mind, then it isn't meant to be. You can try to salvage an image in post, but there is a limit to that. So then you either go back to try again, or work with the conditions you encounter in the field, and prepare try different types of images depending the weather and light.

great potential but I agree with other comments. Very over-worked.
