Default Neuse River Before and After PP

For Post Processing I basically followed Scott Kelby's 7-POINT SYSTEM for CS3. I'm not selling books but this is a good one for learning Photoshop essentials. Let me know what you think of the Before and After shots.

BEFORE:
Dock Neuse - Before PP

AFTER:
Dock Neuse - After PP

The water especially is so much more vibrant and sharper! I did something similiar to some shots I took in the Florida Keys last year. Very nice work!

Definitely improved. I think it is more of a background shot, even with the brighter colours, because there isn't an strong subject, but it is improved and it would be interesting to see what it looks like applied to another picture with a clearer subject.
