So I'm trying to teach myself how to edit photos using LightRoom 5. I have zero idea what I'm doing so hopefully I will get better as I play more.

The last picture, the sky looks too blue for me. I would back off in the brightening a tosh.

 

The sky that day was the bluest blue. The sun shone more brightly than it ever had. The birds were singing their sweetest song. It was the day the H/FSS Land Speed record fell to the brave little Viewt. :p

With crawdads car I wanted to bring out the stripes and details in the grill. With Cordel's car I wanted to bring out the color in the car and make it less washed out. Doc's picture I wanted to experiment more make the record holder pop more and bring the sky out for contrast.

I actually think it's his vibrancy he should bring down a smidge but I like it :)

 

I was going to suggest using lightrooms gradient tool to bring the saturation down just a little up in that corner to make it more real, otherwise good editing work.
