Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions! This image was taken at Homestead, Fl; Camera Nikon D90; 1/1600 sec; Aperture Priority; f/5.0; ISO 200, PP in Photoshop CS5, curve adjustments, saturation and use of Pulg-in Color Efex Pro: Glamour Glow.

Nice and colorful and well exposed. You could have fooled me if you'd told me that this was in Asia....

Very nice; I think it needs a drop of CCW.

I think you cropped this well to accentuate the more interesting aspects of the structure. Try the things below to enhance to your tastes.

1) Reduce saturation.

2) Reduce Highlight Luminosity (see below).

Look at blending modes in the first link and highlight selection in link 2 using method 2 (CTRL Key and double click on the RGB channels pallet will make same selection in current versions of PS).

Highlight selection:

1) Channels palette.
2) Ctrl key and click the RGB channel. Photoshop will now create a feathered selection around highlight pixels in the image. Photoshop has selected pixels based on how bright they are. Pure white pixels are selected 100%. Pure black pixels are not selected and pixels falling in-between those two extremes are selected based on a percentage of how close they are to white.

Blending Mode Adjustment:

1) Go back to layer palette - you will see selection.
2) Create BG copy.
3) Create mask on the BG copy from the selection.
4) Selection is grayscale shaded.
5) Change blending mode to Multiply.
6) Adjust opacity
