Telluride Fall Colors using Topaz

[Chief]

I wanted to try Topaz detail on this picture.
Does it look over processed ?

Thanks

Aw man! I really wanted to get back to Ouray and see the colors this year. I guess I'm too late, huh?
I knew it was happening, but you just gave me visual proof

While I do like this photo, it does have that "processed look" to it. Like the cover of a jigsaw puzzle. I like the sky and the forground, but the yellow fields on the right and the mountains behind them just don't look "real"

Take what I say with a grain of salt; I'm not good at giving critiques and I'm certanly not an expert.

OK, No Topaz

just a little cs5

Hmm, the second one doesn't have the pop the other one has. I'm thinking you need to bring up the shadows and pull down the highlights (like a few spots in the sky).
