Playing with photos

I don't usually spend a lot of time touching up my photos. I know I should...I just am not sure how well I do with it. I am such a procrastinator when I am not sure if I will be good at something. So, I decided to play around with some photos I took the other day. This is the first one I came up with. I was shocked at the difference. And then I ask myself why I haven't been doing this all along? For a really long time now I have wanted to take some basic photography classes. I just want to learn how to work my camera and how to "frame" a shot. I am determined to get into a class in the next week or two and am looking up some online ones. So if anyone has a good one to recommend please let me know. :)
