Yes, did a bit of post-processing. Basically what I do is first, and this is just to piss off SrisonS, I very carefully and precisely make damn sure it is exactly vertical; then I boost saturation a wee bit. However, the colors were quite intense that day due to the awesome weather conditions- big storm had just finished but still had some good dark clouds as you have seen in my last few days maybe.
