Shooting in RAW and color-correcting for the first time

I'm busy getting ready to head to the airport, so I don't have a lot of time, but I wanted to go ahead and slap up these shots I took at the Canal the other day. Below you'll find the original, unedited image, and then how I tweaked the image in Photoshop. I mostly used Saturation and Levels. I may have overdone it a little...but it was my first time. I'm allowed.

Savannah River Headgates Savannah River Headgates: color-corrected

Augusta Canal trail Augusta Canal trail: color-corrected

Augusta Canal Augusta Canal: color-corrected

Ant on Leaf Ant on Leaf: color-corrected

The last two pictures came out the best, I think.

There are tons more photos from the Canal, but I won't have time to go through and edit them until I get back from England. I don't have time to upload them unedited, either, so you'll just have to wait ;)
