How it's done:
- All tuning done in Picasa (yes, I am not beyond cheap tricks; but also I find that adjusting overall tone of the image is much, much easier in Picasa than in Photoshop. In fact I tried to reproduce the same effect in Photoshop and eventually gave up...)
- The original is very gray (all within second quarter of the histogram, with white sky being a spike at the far right)
- I added a fill light, highlights and shadow. I like playing with fill+shadow more than highlights - it brings out mid-tone colors
- I then added some graduated tint to get upper half not too light
- Plus more saturation
- And finally even more shadow...
Brilliant shot. Very nice angle
