The photo above is one that I took of a lighthouse on Mackinac Island, in Michigan.
Using photoshop, I was able to edit the levels and curves. I started with the levels and clicked auto, and made it just a little darker because the sky looked to bright. Next, I edited the curves. I had to play around with this for awhile because I wanted to make sure it retained a natural look. In the end, the original diagonal line was more S-shaped. I like how the water turned out, and the sky doesn't look so dull and gray, but still has a natural look. Overall, I think the colors stand out a lot more.
I really like the second photo. I feel like it's closer to what your eye actually saw.
