    Ummm ... looks more like you used a curves tool than burning now as the whole photo is darker. If you'd used a Burn tool only on the clouds then the windmill, snow and trees would still be nice and bright like before.

    You can't fool me

    Set the Burn tool on midtones (it'll ignore the brighter areas and the very dark areas) at about 6% and use a large-ish brush. Brush each section of cloud a few times until it's looking about what you want.

    yeah, I don't even know why I would try but I kinda like the darker windmill too. I will try these suggestions.

    Nope ... think it's 7 or 21 times ... not sure

    There's still bit of pinkness in those two spots but the clouds look more dominant now.

    It doesn't matter how much you play around there's always some clown out there that will say "You know ... if you did this ... bladdy bladdy bla bla"

    That's the subjectivity of photography
