 A golden sandy beach, with tropical sparkling waters, and magical blue sky, is found at Dingo beach.
I have only sharpened this slightly, no saturation, and no added color at all.
I used curves, and dust & scratches, and noise only.
What you see is exactly the color of Dingo Beach.

I have replaced this image with a less saturation version, and actually no added color at all. Also used less sharpening as well. I followed the suggestions below so hope you are pleased with the result.
I must stop doing porcessing at night, as that seems to be when I overprocess my images. Thank you so much for the suggestions and not offended in any way.....

I will agree here, I see alot of pixelation due to oversharpening and saturation bumped way too high. This is a lovely photo with composition and coloring and I'd wager it could be processed less and make an amazing seascape. Please dont take my comments wrong I just think you have some awesome photos just have processed them too far.

I like the colors and the composition in most of the photos from your vacation. However, they all look a bit over-processed. They seem very soft, but at the same time oversharpened. The colors appear to be over saturated or the contrast levels boosted too much. I've noticed that this will have a detrimental effect on the sharpness of the final pic. This is the most evident in this one and it looks like the Shadow/Hightlight tool was used a little too much also.

In a lot of your more abstract works this can be done with good artistic results, but when it comes to capturing beautiful landscapes, sometimes you've got to let the camera do most of the work. You've got a good camera, so in this case, I think "less is more".

I don't know for sure what your post-processing steps were, just that this is the way it looks to me. I apologize if I'm way off here.
