Wedding images are nothing like landscapes, and, so when I started working on this, the colours were vibrant, vivid and deeply saturated and they looked great to my eyes after having spent 10 hours working on bland images (in comparison).
I will load it up again when I have the chance and re-work it. You're right about the luminance of the falls, too. I had a version where the falls were toned down by about 2/3rds of a stop. I think that will work better with the toned down greens. Will upload once I've reprocessed.
Thanks, mate. I like your version, too, by the way. I think something in between would work a treat.

No need to defend yourself mate.
I know exactly what you mean about switching to landscapes after processing other types of images, I have lost my way several times. It often looks good, yet on second check later on, it seems my concept of correct saturation gets blurry, especially after a long day.
Definatley something inbetween, my edit lacks a bit of pop, would have liked to spend more time re-illuminating specific folage. My edit also lost some of the nice brown folage on the falls too.
