HI Suzi,
I love the composition of your golden gate bridge photo....taken from the boat??
However, I really love the golden hues in your first photo, really livens up the photo....the greyness/blue tones that were reconstructed in your makeover make the scene look a little dreary....if there was a way to transpose both photos (really thinking out loud here)....keep the sky with the golden hues with a blend of the grey/blue, yet keep the water at the bleak grey/blue of you makeover photo...and boost the contrast of the bridge a bit...currently right now the water is in crisp contrast, and the bridge is phased out a bit (unless that is the look that you are going for).
