Thanks guys. The internet really is a goldmine for learning stuff. The basic workflow I followed was this Lightroom tutorial to sort of emulate the "Dave Hill look":

Then I just played around with the settings depending on what I thought the photo needed.
I actually lost a few hours of sleep because I was playing with A LOT of my past photos and tested what would work with the technique and what wouldn't
It got so addicting. Haha.
I'll be posting several photos on a separate thread here to try and see what other suggestions I could get to improve the process
Thanks again!
