Edit Me: A beautiful landscape

Apparently, Linda from Coach House Crafting lives near the beautiful locale featured as this week's photo. It is already a beautiful, frameworthy photograph that really needs to editing, however, that's not the deal. So, I've had a little fun with it this week and am loving how it turned out. I'll probably feel differently when this is actually posted, but you know that's how I roll.

I edited exclusively in CS5 this time. I simply cropped just using a freestyle size. I liked how this crop focused more on the beauty in the distance, but there were a few distracting rocks at the bottom of the photo, so I cloned those out using the cloning tool.

Next, I ran Paint the Moon's Sweet Ivy action and turned off the black and white later. Then, I went through each layer adjusting them as I saw fit for this photo. I also ran PTM's Sunny Days actions. This added some light brightness to the photo. Lastly, I ran a rounded corners action. So, there you go and here it is....
