I started with playing around on the individual colour channels with the hue, saturation and lightness.
Then I added some contrast.

Added some dynamic range to the foreground with velvia vision plugin and last unsharp masked a bit to make the trees stand out even more.

Hope you like it!

Small adjustments

It was small, very small, but it was there! 0.8 degrees country clockwise rotation adjustment.

And a small unsharp mask since I was busy anyhow:

80% unsharp mask, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold. Then edit-fade to lighter 100% opacity.

80% unsharp mask, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold. Then edit-fade to darker 100% opacity.

Last I rebuilt the framing with the canvas option.

Hope you like it!

levels

First I used Auto-Levels and Auto-Colors in Photoshop to make it brighter and make the colors look more natural. Then I did a little correction to the colors (took out some red from the mid-tones), and I straightened the horizon.
P.S. I had crop off the original frame in order for the Auto controls to work properly in Photoshop, so I just put a black border on when I was finished.

Mode change to greyscale.
Then mode change to duotone.
Changed it to quad tone.
Loaded pantone quad tone profile 4.

Mode back to rgb, since otherwise I would not be able to save it as a jpeg.

some small unsharp masking. Et voilá.

Crop, Selected Levels

I cropped the photo to cut out most of the blown out sun area in the upper right. Then I selected the vegetation in the lower left, refined the edge by raising the contrast slider to minimize artifacts, and then used Levels to brighten the midtones slightly.
