Nice! As far as I can see, you don't need advice, you should be giving it!

I Photoshopped this image. I used a gradient filter to open up the shadows of the lower half, and then used another gradient filter to darken and warm the sky. Here is my attempt attached. Comments welcomed.

Hmm Thanks! I guess now I'm going to have to learn how to use PS gradients! To date all I do is use camera raw sliders to lighten shadows and darken overexposures.

Not much to learn- it's easy- took me all of about 1 minute. In Photoshop Camera Raw, (go to top menu under filters, and click on camera raw), you will see the little icon for gradient. Click at the top center of the photo and drag down to include the area you want to influence. Then use the exposure and shadow sliders and the temperature sliders to influence the image. For the lower half of the image, click on the centenaries bottom and drag up, include area of concern, and release mouse. Then adjust the same sliders. Hope this works!

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Not to belabor the point but here it is, three steps- then do the lower part the same way.

I also recommend using the “Dodge” and “Burn” tool in PS CC.
