Looks like it was an amazing occurrence. The colors have been pushed to the point of unnatural separation, though. You could go back to the raw file and try less extreme ways to boost color. It would be interesting to know what the adjustments were.

If this was the old 7D you will have less dynamic range than the newer bodies and will need to be even more careful of pushing colors.
