nice pice, although ti seems to have too much contrast and a warm tint to it, I don't mind the tint, or the contrast but much of the detail is lost. If you did some spot erasing with some brush work on the contrast layer you could keep the effect and save the detail, or take the dodge tool to parts the original.

To the op, got the unedited pic?
it's a nice picture.. good location and decent composition.. BUT try more moderate or no enhancements to your pics in PS if you are starting out.. it's very overdone and honestly super boosting color and contrast is what all PS noobs do with their first photos..
Lets see this picture before PS... I bet it's 100x nicer..

yea. u just got a little happy with the contrast in the first photo. The orginal is much nicer. Beginning photographers go nuts with photoshop, its photographer nub disease.
I edited 2 of your shots a little in CS2. Save em if u want cuz ima gonna delete them off my host in a day.

I also took 2 of your shots also and played with them a little. I just play with the shadow/highlight settings, and not much. In the one with the rear shot, I play with those setting more than usual and it end up adding noise to the background. I "reduced" it by adding blur to the back ground, but not a whole lot. In some shot I like to add gradient to the top or corners. It makes the unused part of the picture more inviting, if you want to call it that.
