Hi Adam. Looks to me like all you have to do is bring the blue out in the sky.tone down the greens a little and shadows up in the 2 big Pines to bring them out more. That is what I would try. Not sure if it would work tho.I am trying to learn PP. But it is a slow learning curve for this country boy.:)

Opened in Camera Raw and adjusted then Photoshop followed by NIk.
If you have the Raw file so much better. There is a pile of detail even in the jpeg that can be brought out. You were at least 2 stops underexposed.
If you use Camera Raw and were not aware you can open a jpeg by going File>Open As and setting the drop down box to Camera Raw. Easiest and best initial editing tool you will ever find.
So no idea what you saw just an on the fly interpretation using your jpeg.
There is loads more selective adjustments that can be made I only made adjustment that affected the whole image. I will leave you to fine tune it if you wish.

Post a link to the raw file. You might be pleasantly surprised how much more latitude it has. The problem with the gradient filter is that the tree will go from dark at the top to lighter at the bottom. An all too obvious mark of poor post-processing. You can avoid this in LR by using the radial gradient filter or adjustment brush. The HSL sliders will help with more subtle changes to the sky and grass. If you are good at Photoshop, the edge detail will be great in masking off the tree and will give more control for the other adjustments.
I hope this helps.

Simple way is make two images one for sky and one for foreground. Stack them on top of each other in Photoshop and brush through detail from one to the other with a layer mask.
Raw file will give you much more latitude with the sky anyway. adjust exposure first and move on from there in Camera Raw.

You would have to define "fix".

Exactly! A distinct possibility, which would provide a great silhouette! Which is why I wanted to know her definition of "fix" although the second picture she included actually tells me what she wanted to do. But other people, perhaps yourself included, might not be thinking of other things one can do with that picture.

When I shot this picture I saw the tree and the water I wasn't thinking of a silhouette it's pretty tree I want to show it

Here's what I came up with. A few adjustments in Camera Raw, a Layer Mask and a sun. The trick is not to make the image something it isn't but rather work with what you do have.
