@kkishere, TheAlchemist, Kumar: Niice shots. The standards in this thread are being set higher and higher! kkishere, the 2nd shot with the water-splash kids is unique!
Here's a short series from Phagwara, Punjab. Went there for a wedding, but I dunno if I should post any of the shaadi ka snaps.
#1 Suicide Point
#2 Streets of Punjab
#3 No parking?
#4 Colorful textures
...and my favorite two from the trip:
#5 Punjabi saree seller - Totally love the colors and the mood!
#6 Cooling in the shade - Rickshaw puller >> Modified the color of the turban to make the image pop.
Thanks for lookin'!

^ i meant that the colours are not vibrant enough for my taste - dunno about your cam, but my Nikon has - standard and vivid as colour options. I mostly use vivid
and lolz - i am probably more of a n00b than you, and I have done PP only in Picasa
but i'll try some PP on shot #2 and lets see how that goes
EDIT:
Bumped up the saturation in Picasa - the flower is more vibrant now - this is all my opinion - you may feel differently

@TheAlchemist: Great colors in those shots! Sorry for not commenting, I tend to skip over flower shots. And also I guess my office network blocked it.
@soggy,BF1983,hanzy: Here's my shot at it:
Hint: I did not use the Hue/Saturation tool at all. It's all curves and levels adjustment, followed by a little sharpening - the colors take care of themselves.
Will post.

Before seeing this, I was thinking why spoil the natural colours! (orthodox/conventional way of thinking) Wonderful!
@Hanzy
Is it the flower of Canon ball tree? (also called nagalinga tree)
A photo to keep this thread alive:
Paradise docked
Shot at the Dal lake, March 2007. This was around 7PM and my H2 was set up on a mini-pod for a 1/2 second exposure at f/2.8 and ISO 100.
Color-corrected and curves adjusted to bring out the background mountains in PS CS3. I love the still waters and almost mirror-like reflections with the hazy view of the mountains in the back.

^ Why? I'd always use the lowest possible ISO and the lowest shutter that's sharp enough. That's the only way you'll get the dreamy look.
Most people want a cam with high ISO to use faster shutters. Use slower shutters in everyday situations and you'll be shocked I tell ya. Its the easiest way of producing a creative shot.

Well i'm assuming it is a low light scenario. For that reason to want a bit higher sensitivity.
And it is a lake which means there is movement especially the boats (notice how they and the reflections are a little blurry), so I'd want a shorter exposure time.
That is why I'd want to see the difference.
At the end of the day, those settings did make a good snap. No taking that away.
Cheers.
