Before and After Photoshop Edit

Took this picture on the backyard of my girlfriends house before leaving early in the morning. Sometimes I like to take a picture just to see what I can do with it in Photoshop.
Here is a before and after picture, let me know what you think and please feel free to edit the original and post your results.

I know the pictures isn't nothing much interesting, but it's mostly just the editing I am interested in hearing feedback on. Photo was taken handheld very early morning.

Looks like you brought out a lot of details - good job.

Now, my critiques:
1) Too cool, warm it up a tad
2) It's substantially underexposed
3) Next time, keep the horizon a bit lower -- try not to put it smack in the middle of the frame. This will create more drama.

Otherwise, it's a pretty cool picture.

Nice job with the sky. Cloud detail is good. Like toasty said, try to keep to the rule of thirds for the horizon line. I cropped a bit to bring it to the rule of thirds and I adjusted the lighting a bit. Not necessarily better than your edit, but different.

Picture is definitely better looking than the original. But I don't think the picture itself is very interesting.

Colors look better in this one?

Nice cloning work. Better.

Agreed.

I really like the edit, great work. It is surprising how much detail is hidden in some photos.
