My First attempt at editing a photo. Go lightly on me.. lol.
I didn't do much, just played with the colors, cropped it, and added the frame. I know it made it look better but there is no way I could do this every time I do a shoot. I don't have the patience haha. I may pick a few out of a shoot and edit them like this but overall I am sticking to leaving them untouched.

Trust me, once you start editing more and more it'll go much faster. Open, crop, resize, check levels, check shadows/highlights, check brightness/contrast, sharpen, check levels again, add border and text, done. I can edit a picture in under 2 minutes no problem if I'm doing basic adjustments. Its when you're working with a less-than-quality photograph and/or have to fix the composition or colors when it gets very time consuming.
Overall its a good job. If I could I would have take out all the clutter in the background (light poles, cars, trailer, people, everything) and just left sky (which shadows/highlights would have richened up a bit possibly) but thats ALOT of work.

I work with gimp too, not photoshop. No big difference though. I won't do this to all of them, but when a rainly day comes along I may open up a few I have on the computer and play around with them. I like most how they are but doesn't mean I can't like them better.
Josh you can take the original and play around with it if you wish, I don't mind.
