About Taken in Daytona Beach, Florida, USA along the Halifax River and Beach Street. The sky turned out pretty grayed out, even though it was a beautiful blue day. So, I used photoshop to make the sky better. Usually I don't do that...but I thought it would really improve this photo. Plus, I didn't take that photoshop class for nothing! What do you think? Thanks.

I probably would have also lightened the color of the water up a little bit. As is now, it definately looks a little fakeish because they just don't match up at all to what people are used to seeing in nature. However, maybe that is just me. It does have good composition though, with a very strong vertical theme carried foreground to back.

Jason,
Thanks for the input. I played around with it a little more in PS as you suggested and I attached what I got. I lightened up the blue sky a bit, and I used the curves option to lighten the water just a little, but not much. What do you think? Thanks again for the input.
Regards,
~Luke

Hey Lucas,

This is a good image. Maybe use a polarizing filter or UV filter to bring out the hues in the sky and reduce the blending of building and sky. Other wise a good composition.

Steve
