I am having a hard time post-processing my images!! I am going crazy. Please let me know if I overdid it on this one.

Any input/post-processing tips would be greatly appreciated.

REVISED:

Here is hopefully a more even pic:

Number two isn't quite even, see if you can fix it in PS because I love the image.

The first one is a VERY good shot. I'm a landscape junkie so I love it.

I like the first one a lot. But it looks a little odd, just a bit. Something look a touch off with the light. I can't pinpoint it, but the light on the mountains doesn't seem to match the light on the clouds.

I like the picture a lot. And I probably wouldn't have thought twice about the light if you hadn't mentioned processing.

I'm also with the crowd that likes the first one a lot.

good work!

Best regards,

To my eye, the first pic is much better than the second. Better subject and better lighting.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks Scottes: Number 1 was a huge challenge for me. If you can see the original image, you will know what I mean. It was washed out, no constrast, no saturation etc....

.........I have to really boost the saturation just to give it that look. Somehow my Rebel didn't meter the scene correctly or it was just a difficult scene to capture.

Thank goodness for that Velvia action.....it saved that picture from the recycle bin.
