over saturated? maybe...  to you.  photographs capture what is in front of the lens.  The photographer must see it correctly to capture it correctly.  Exposure, composition, angle, timing, etc. all have a role in capturing the image.  The photographer, the artist, also has ability to manipulate that capture to mold into what he mind's eye sees.  Variations on images provide the ability to please the viewer coming or going.   After all, we don't all like our coffee black... do we?

This is some more experimentation with my 50mm f1.8 lens.  This is a modern radio with retro styling  The f1.8 stop provides a deliciously shallow depth of field allowing for the eye track the fade.  The curves guide you into pin point and move you away slowly.  A controlled gaze.
