Do I edit my pictures too much?

Question

This is my original picture: http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm56/chrisssyholmes/100_4576.jpg

Here is my edited picture: http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm56/chrisssyholmes/theshore.jpg

Do I edit too much? Or did I do just enough?

Or maybe not enough..?

I personally like the edited one more than the original. But the original one is still very nice.

What do you think?

Answer 1

I'm guessing you just fixed the lighting or you changed the amount of blue? When you have a picture that's very blue (like your original) it has a negative effect. A warm feeling would be more red-like.

Very good editing. The original picture feels very plain and boring. The edited picture had some depth and less blue.

Very nice picture.

By the way is that the santa cruz boardwalk in california? I might be wrong =P
