Geez Pope, I should have had you doctor my pics up before I posted them 
Pope certainly does a great job touching up a good photo into a great one, especially for the saturation of color tone. It is challenging for me to work on the jpg file (raw gives more freedom to work with). Much to learn from him.
I didn't even bump up the saturation on this one. In fact, I unsaturated a bunch of the reds (blood) like on his hands and the mouth of the ram. The only thing I really did was take out the blood and bump up the contrast, then re-crop.
Part of the problem I have with photos is that my monitor displays different than yours. My monitor at home really shows the colors off, while my monitor at work is really flat. If I adjusted a photo on my flat monitor, it looks way too saturated on my home monitor. Your monitor may be different. Remember, when you see a photo that has been doctored up and may be too saturated or not quite right, that person may have a different monitor than you and it may look more normal on their monitor. Just food for thought...
