I think that this one's an improvement over the first version.

I still read a slight tilt in the horizon, and I'd like to see the blues and oranges come out in the sky a little more.

The foliage looks much nicer in this one.

I'm six hours ahead of you guys, hence the late reply...
Rhonda, this is sooo much better, it's truly a wonderful shot now! I wouldn't make the colors stronger, like Jeff suggested, I like the pastelly nature, it adds to the sense of calm and peace. I do agree with there still being a slight tilt, though. Fix that, print it out and be proud!

By the way, I recently saw what photos a famous photographer comes home with, before doing magic in the printing process (he's still using film) - proper post-processing is quite necessary for the great ones, too!

Does shooting RAW hurt?

Sticking my snoot into this late. Rhonda, I find curves to be frustrating, too. Someone here showed me long ago how to make levels adjustments to images, rather than curves adjustments. I think it's just another way to achieve the same thing, but not sure, but it works for me most of the time, so I don't care. I opened your image and moved the black and the white sliders in the Levels adjustments window toward the main part of the histogram, did some minor highlight/shadow adjustments and added some some saturation and contrast. Below is what I got. Not sure if it's better or not. I do like the results you got with your second effort. Just sharing another way.

Gary

After posting my version, I might have gone too far with the contrast, but you get the idea.
