Learning Photoshop

I took this picture last week, this is the picture SOOC.

I opened Photoshop at the beginning of the week and made a bunch of edits by hand & eye, having no real idea what I was doing.  This is the picture from my first set of edits.

Then I read the first couple hundred pages of my new Photoshop book, and took a bother stab at editing.

I could have definitely preserved some of the clouds, and I might go back and fix that, but I must say, this is a great book!
