Original shot was taken using a CP + 1 stop ND grad to keep the sky exposed correctly.

In PS afterwards - applied auto contrast, adjusted the levels using the Channel Mixer (increasing the Red and Green channels and decreasing the blue channel - this helps darken the dark parts and lighten the lighter parts), then "colourised" to get the sepia style tone. Oh, and also applied the NeatImage filter to it using the default settings - this tends to give photos a nice soft look, especially with clouds. Final thing was a quick level of sharpening.

Appreciate the feedback ;0)
