Learning photoshop

So... here is another "early" photo that was shot before I "tried".
Here are two versions... an un-edited one and one edited with the guidance of PS elements 7.
Which one looks better? Well, obviously, I fixed the red eye, but I adjusted levels to correct for exposure & skin tone. Can you tell? I STILL have not calibrated my monitor, so realize that all monitors will give slightly different colors..... fun huh? ;-)
Still learning.....
