Your pictures always have amazing colours! Do you do much post processing or is it all you?

Thanks, and thanks to others who have commented on this photo. I'm no whiz when it comes to PP, but here is what I usually do: First, since I shoot in RAW, I can tweak the original image before opening in the editor (for me, PSE5). I usually adjust exposure and white balance (if necessary), and upon occasion, saturation. I like a tad more saturation for some subjects (non-people) and will move the saturation slider in Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) to the right (+) a little - usually around +5 to +9 or so. In addition, if shot at high ISO, I'll apply a little noise reduction in ACR, as well. Once in PSE5, I generally just crop, straighten (if necessary), adjust levels, resize for web posting, sharpen a little, and save. That's it. There are others who post to this thread who are WAY more skilled at PP than I'll ever be, and their photos show it. But, that's what I do, and I'm mostly happy with the results.
