I would comment on this but I would just sound like an elitist snob so I'll just shut up.

Every so often, PDMLers criticize examples of somebody's oversaturated photos. But there must a be a reason why those things "sell". I just looked over the first few pages of the most popular photos on 500px.com: http://500px.com/popular Almost all of them (if not all) have saturated colors (or high-contrast B&W) I am sure psychologists wrote papers and books on this topic, I didn't even try to google it, but I suspect the reason is simple: bright colors are easier for "consumption", the same way as sweet foods/drinks attract attention of adults and especially kids. In a similar way, many people start drinking wines by liking the sweet ones.
