Right, I've just made a few subtle changes. Very slight rotation and crop for fear of offending the horizon police (I'm not even sure if it was straight or not already. Perhaps they've got me so scared that I'm seeing things!). I added a tiny bit of contrast on a curve, played about with the colour balance in the cyan colour channel (for the sky) and added a little bit of saturation to bring out the colours a little more. It's only a subtle change but I think that's best sometimes (most of the time!).

On the shopped picture you uploaded I think you've saturated a bit much. The colours are a bit hot.

EDIT: Looking at that on here it seems that it's very subtle! There is a difference, honest!

At the end of the day though, there's no real substitute for getting good light when you're shooting.
