Do you think these pics are too warm? Levels left them looking a little cool so i warmed them up a touch.

I think the one on the left may be a little too warm, it's verging on not looking hugely natural. As they were obviously taken in Autumn, judging by the colours of the leaves, you don't want it to be too warm anyway. The one on the right seems about...right :D

We had a similar discussion in my "Autumn forest-scape" thread. (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=46396)
(I increased saturation on the yellows to make the autumn colors pop. We had some discussion on whether it was too much.)
I guess this is all a matter of taste. Do you want to have truthful colors, or do you want tot give the impression of a beautiful autumn day?
For your photo's: I like the last version better. In the original, the warming is also visible in the sky, and for me that needs to be a cool color. That is better in the second version; also giving a nicer contrast between the cold sky and the warm tree. Also now it much more looks like an early morning or late afternoon shot because the side-lighting on the tree is better visible. It also seems to have more depth.
