Thanks guys!
Ajay, I cropped so much that I downsized in two steps. I applied Smart Shapening in PS in both steps (2 or 3 times each time), since both normal Sharpen and USM quickly oversharpened. The photo was taken with the 50 MP at f/8.
Bob, it could well be that I didn't set the white balance correctly. It was late evening, with golden light all around (above, in this shot), and hence blue shadows. I did it by feel. I should really use my X-Rite Passport more. I do carry it.

My problem is that I have trouble correcting for it. I find it's not merely white balance because either the blue becomes bluer or the orange becomes more orange. I end up having to pick one direction and then raise the luminance and/or desaturation for the other. The end result has never been totally satisfying to me. Your certainly doesn't look so bad but I have some that I end up trashing.

Here are a few from a recent excursion into the neighborhood.
Shot with the Zeiss 21mm and the Canon 24TS II (come on, cut me some slack, doing comparisons!
).

Lizard portrait

It won't show here very well, but at 100% the 21 is totally awesome in that shot of the cinderblock wall with dry grass compared to the Canon 24 -- and the Canon 24 is pretty amazing! I'm glad to have both.

Gunzorro: Nice shots but I think the harsh sunlight killed some of the contrast.
cputeq: Fine capture of the 'fur' on the tennis ball
OlAf: Good shot, have you tried a b&w conversion?

Alkanphel, Philber, Bob, thanks so much for your comments
Carsten - Great color of trees. I don't see what Bob is saying that much, could be because I am also used to see Nikon color. What got my attention was pollen on water? I wonder sharpening made them pop a bit strongly. I am too lazy to do local sharpening, but it may be the case that deserves such treatment.
Bob - your B/W series of Maastrict are gorgeous. Especially the first shot.
prosep - Lovely lake shot. Great composition.
Gunzorro - Like that lizard shot with 21
cputeq - good compositiono of tennis ball shot. I like the B/W very much
OIAF - Nice shot !
Prosep - That is a great shot. Did you crop ?
Lars - Amazing !!
Many - Lovely composition. Well conceived and executed.

This is usually easy to fix using LAB mode:
