I've Seen the Light!

I have used Lightroom for the first time EVER yesterday.  I have put it off, because of many reasons.
Here is my first experiment, and if you have any comments, please e-mail me at: info@curvesphoto.com

Let me know your thoughts between photo 1 and photo 2.

Maybe I will finally be able to play in the yard with the big dogs now???
