First off, I am not trying to be the next IA bandwagon photographer. I'm just having fun taking pics of stuff because I like the challenge. Now I'm getting into doing some processing to try to make things easier on the eye (OOC only goes so far sometimes). I just want to know if I am on the right track or not and what else I could consider when editing before I get into a rut. I've gotten input from someone on here and it has definitely help, but everyone is a little different, which is why I am seeking opinions.

So I guess I'll give a few examples of pics I done- before and after...
