Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
I have no idea why the first one came out like it ddid [the color].
My favorite is the 2nd one because that's the way it actually looked.
When I do my Photoshop thing to my pictures, I try to make them look the way I remember it looking.
Sometimes I get carried away and play with a picture or two.

PS: Here's another picture I took on that day. I'm just doing these pictures to learn how CS3 works.
