    Can't seem to get colour into landscapes

    Hi all

    I couldn't think of a better title without it being very very long!!

    I am finding that when I am shooting a landscape, the colours are dull and lacking in oomph unless shot is bright sunlight. So I go to my trusty LR and try to add more oomph there but it just doesn't seem to work. Take today for instance... it was cloudy, but not too bad I thought. I took quite a few photos with different angles etc. When I was in LR no amount of saturation, contrast, luminance, fill light and blacks would help this image (or the others)....here's the original....

    So, where to from here???



    I know maybe elements would probably benefit...I have that but I am also still working out how to save properly with it (wish it was just a simple as LR!).

    Any ideas or help would be eternally grateful.

    This is totally original RAW saved as JPEG - no sharpening etc has been done.
