It seems just a hair over saturated (IMO) but unique subjects for the shot .

Congrats for your third place, Tathaastu!

good

nice effort, a little fuzzy though.

great !

The high res shows a lot of colour fringing (lens aberration) particularly over areas that are dark with light b/ground which I find is common in some zoom lenses at the long end. It can be corrected in software. Overall it's nice - it looks like you have a 'Topaz' filter over it - correct me if I am wrong.

It was taken with a zoom lens from far away. I also did use Topaz to bring some color out due to being a little washed out from distance.

I honestly thought this was posterized when I first looked at it but I can tell it's not. The colors look a little odd but probably from being washed out as you said. GL all the same.
