Photo Advice Needed

So basically I'm new to the digital photography world. For god knows why, my school only provides old film photography classes. Overall, I didn't learn a whole lot besides the bare minimum basics. Now that I just recently bought decent slr digital camera I've been trying to learn as much as I can.
One of the main things that I seem to see people say a lot on here is to not over edit a picture. So I've done a little tweaking in aperture with a photo i took up at fern creek falls just after getting my camera. I'm just curious what your guys thoughts are on the pictures as well as what to improve. Any contributions are greatly appreciated
