Sometimes post-processing can be a little too much. This photo, although it looks pretty good, suffers from heavy-handed post work. I kicked the Clarity slider in too hard (I usually do) which gave it a weird effect. Does it look bad? No, not really. It just makes it more obvious that it was modified I think.

I spent a good portion of my night making custom Lightroom Presets of my 'usual' post-processing steps, which will make things even simpler when I go in to edit my shots. I also mucked about with the existing Lightroom presets, and I have to say, LR3 has some great presets.

I may consider taking a course for Lightroom (Or just use the internet, yay free). It's an extremely powerful tool, and would love to learn even more about it.
