You can play with the Photoshop feature Curves (Image -> Adjustments -> Curves OR ctrl + M) in order to adjust the color/saturation/brightness and such.

Or do you mean something like this? o.o You're going to have to be more specific.

sorry i dont know how to explain.
how did you do that though?
it looks really nice.

but on the others,
how the colors stick out so much.
like the blue sky for ex.

You do sharpening first to give it a crisp look. Though I say don'tttt oversharpen ! xD
And well, I work with PS, and I know exactly how to get those. You basically play with Photo Filters, curves, contrast/brightness. And even add a gardient map if you like. If you really do it right, the colouring of a picture can enhance the picture BEAUTIFULLY just like that.

do you know of any tutorials?

ive only been using it for a couple of months.

^Yeah. you should never over sharpen

this is The way I do it =)

First, you duplicate base. Then set that base to Overlay at 100% opcacity.

Then, again, duplicate the layer you duplicated.

Then, make a new layer, and fill it with 1e0d9a. Set it to lighten at 100%

Then, make a new layer, and fill it with f7a420. Then, set it to muplity at 25-30% opacity.

After that, flatten, of combine all layers. Then, go to the filters.

Go to Filter>sharpen>sharpen.
