Fooling around with high saturation

I rarely use the Photoshop tools that can change an image drastically. Being a "classical" photographer, I believe in taking the shot at the decisive moment. Any fixing up is done to improve the original image idea. But these are times when I like to "fool around" with judicious amounts of saturation or color balance to get something that wasn't envisioned at the time the shutter button was pressed. I do not do this often but it can give some interesting results. You be the judge.

Obviously these images were shot in Venice.
