Here's a few pics I've taken recently using Irfanview to color correct. It's an easy way to add intensity and balance colors and contrast in your pics. Give it a try..
What do you think of the coloring and image balance in these screenshots? To dark... too saturated? How would you modify these pics to be better than they are?

Colorwise, they all look fantastic. I wont go into anything thing else about them unless you want me too. Glad you're also advocating these simple fixes that can dramatically enhance an otherwise un-interesting shot.
