deja vu: like the first day of digital photo 1

Working on my 365 shot for the day...decided to take a decent shot and play around for an extended amount of time in the good ol' shoppe of photo instead of just picking the quickest shot to minimally edit. Actually had a bit of fun doing this and thinking about how stoked Sablow would be if this was for an assignment. And then I'd have to admit I didn't shoot in RAW and the whole class would then be lectured on how important of a detail that is and then...oh, right, I'm not in that class anymore so it doesn't matter. (No offense to Sablow ever though! He taught me way more than anyone ever has about photo!) A N Y W A Y. Here's the photo with it's before. Some things that I did: Took out that hideous antenna, lightened up the clouds, played with tones and colors, burned and dodged some things, and that's about it.  Mom thinks I did a great job, so that's really all that matters. :)
