I took this with my moms sd600. Does it look very point and shoot? Any tips? I tried burning the sky but it looked bad. Any tips? Thanks in advance!

Not a great edit, but a little better.

A small Shadow/Highlight adjustment, a very slight 'S' from a Curves layer and a little UnSharp Mask...voila!

How did you do the shadow highlight adjustment? Is there any tutorials online?

Or there's the option of replacing the sky completely. Do you know how to work with layers?

Very nice shot, but as griptape already pointed out you're going to have to replace the sky. There's just not enough information to bring it back. A little surgery and you've got yourself a sweet shot.
