Learning...slowly - PP/retouching
I don't do much PP on my images as a general rule. However, hanging around here has piqued my interest, so I tried something tonight.
Here is the original, out of the camera.

Then I cropped with a twist to "level" the curving shoreline. I then selected the lake and pulled the brightness and contrast. Then I selected the houses and shoreline and twiddled the brightness and contrast. Last I selected the sky and clouds and pulled the curves just a bit.

I'm not really happy with it, but it is not bad for a first try at selective PP.
C&C please
