Smile Lightroom2 Help.

Alright I hope this is the right place for some technical instruction...not a photo critique. If this is the wrong place I am sorry! But heres my problem....



I want to get a very very dark sky (as close to black as I can get) in my photo. I tried my own on Lightroom2 but I could only get it so dark before the clouds started darkening out of the picture. Can anyone help me with this? I want white puffy clouds over a very! dark sky: you may even turn the photo to black/white if you would like. My attempt is above and there is still too much blue in the sky..see if you can beat it.

So heres my original turned jpg if there are any takers>

And if you are proficient in Lightroom and want my editing data for whatever:

Use the brushes in lightroom set to exposure to lighten or darken spots in the photo next scroll down to the hue/saturation box notice a small white circle click on that then click on any color in the photo (like the blue your talking about) to saturate or desaturate depending on your taste Hope this helps If you have any questions hit me
