Maybe I am missing something, but where's the dam? All I see is a concrete structure of some sort and water.

I've been there......very saturated image. Works though I guess. Did you have fun in Vegas?

That is a shot of a part of Lake Mead, from Hoover Dam.
Step away from the saturation slider. Be mindful which metering mode the camera is set to.
I left the saturation alone, but decreased the Vibrance. I added some Fill light, and dodged the hills on the right to reveal some detail. I burned the sky to bring back soem of the blue in the sky and I burned the water. I then increased the mid-tone contrast, cropped a tad off both the top and the bottom, and added a thin black border.

Sorry guess it should of been titled, at the Dam LOL

I agree the sky is over exposed, your edit is great but I loved the blue of the water and the warm tone off the concrete, the sky on the right hand side really does bug me though

Thanks for the input

You would be right about that :thumbup: - I was just surprised, because when I see a title that contains the word "dam", I expect to see a "dam" - that's all - no problem - just a lack of familiarity with that part of the world on my part - good reason for a trip - maybe next year to the Colorado Plateau/Canyon Country and then Las Vegas - now there's a plan...

Cheers,
