Before and After Edit

Would like some input on the editing. This looks to be HDR but did not run it thru a HDR editing software but I like it. Would also like some input on the composition of the photo.

Honestly, the edited photo is much better.
The photograph is a casual snap to me, a record of something you may want to remember, there is no point of interest and it also needs straightening it is leaning to the left as can be seen from the lamp thing and the water

I like it edited - I personally would edit a little more by cloning out the people and the lite pole and maybe crop some off the left side - the path needs to be there buy maybe not so much of it.

JR1 just out of interest why the second, I was going to say the first one because it looked a bit stormy the second one didn't look much at all. i'm just trying to pick your brains i'm no photograph. I just go out with my camera and take snaps but we can always learn from people like you.

Thanks JR1 for taking the time to post. I have been out working on my composition of photos. I was using the bridge in the background for point of interest. As for the tilt you are right I forgot to correct that, I was using my Canon 10-22 lens and forgot all about correcting the tilt.

77firebird I like the composition >> large, flat structure at bottom left contrasting with the small bridge and smaller distant land looks like you increased the brightness(or exposure) and also the saturation I would try using an HDR procedure in Photoshop (I have cs4 so your cs6 could easily handle that) in order to maintain the colors (and brightness) of the water and clouds .. I expect you are losing some details in the clouds and water I would also try to separate the water and clouds into their own layers to play around with
I really like the snap overall with the closeup curving away and to the right far distance
But I must admit I am not an expert in cameras or Photoshop but have developed my own style over the years
I apologize for commenting beyond the composition

HI Harvey, first of all let me say this is in no way a criticism of your suggestions because i'm not good enough to do that,but if it's done as you suggest than it's not really the photo thats been taken what's your thoughts on that.

Actually you are right, I was looking at it as a record shot, clear, sharp, the 1st is more atmospheric

If I were allowed to adjust the shot I would crop off a lot of the foreground

As you have said it's ok
I have left the path in because it leads the eye into the image

I like the composition >> lar... (show quote)
Thanks for the comments and no need for apologizing. I did up the exposure but then used the mask to take it off the clouds to keep the dark look,then I use the hue and saturation to up the color of the grass and masked everything else off. The one thing I have noticed is that I needed to leave the river dark not bright like it is
