poor focus choice, over saturated, boring

instead of going mmm saturation, try adjust the mid tones darker with the levels tool, gives a similar and better effect.

For the OP's sake I hope this was a troll.

You should have bought a D40, BTW.

ISO 1600???

Why?

You can get a better boost to color using the channel mixer rather than saturation.

•Work on composition
•Work on exposure
•Get a tripod
•Drop your ISO back to normal range
•Shoot RAW
•Process your RAW files properly using something like Adobe Camera Raw or something else on that level
•Consider also toning down your camera settings (sharpness, contrast, and saturation are all set too high)
