Can others edit my Photos
Photos OK to edit
I've never done anything after putting the photo on my laptop so I thought I'd try a little touch-up work. Take it easy on me, but I could use some CC.

I rather liked it...I was going for a 'late in the day' look. Think i should back it down a bit?

Mule, give me a sec to upload it...

Okay, I like the warmer look a bit more...but if you upped the contrast a bit and warmed it just a touch, you may get that afternoon glow.

Or tried blending two layers together, one the original and the other an overlay layer with a bit of a warm filter?

Just have fun!
Could I play with it?
 
Sure, have at it. I'm using GIMP and i really have no idea what I'm doing. I was just playing with the hue-saturation and color balance.
 
So far, I like your edit better than the original. Good work, not over-done.

They make instruction books for GIMP so you don't have to fumble around.

I'll have to look into that... I'm sure there's videos online as well...
 
Okay...but this is just playing all right?

First I used Topaz Detail in PS Elements 5 to sharpen and add a bit of contrast...

Next I added a layer and changed it to overlay:

Then lastly I added just a touch of warm filter:

I don't know if this is any 'better' but it was a fun edit and I thank you.
