For real. People get focused on making the colors pop, so they completely ignore how much detail you're losing in the photo, and it ends up looking worse than the original. I mean, the moss on the rocks in the bottom left and mid right looks radioactive, and the red on the right have become color blobs losing their shape and detail.

Given the resolution of the image, I'm sort of wondering if this pic is pretty old. Most ordinary people can spot and aren't impressed by color adjustments like this, and the resolution doesn't match modern cameras.
