Burn/dodge

Before

After

To make this photo I used a few layers to give the whole photo the effect of burn as well as overlay. I made the layer mode burn at 46.5% opacity and a new layer in overlay mode at 100%. In this layer I used the brush tool with a larger brush to darken the sky and I tried to fix that little blotch of sunlight that looks kind of funny. (I kept the range set at midtones.) I'm not sure I was very successful in fixing that part of the photo, but I like the overall effects, it almost looks like I turned up the saturation. I think this photo could be more interesting if cropped or maybe with a filter on top..
