Workshop Note
As I said before, my "technique" to working with Photoshop is more like a haphazard experiment than a consistent system of creating an image. I just like to play with different things, and if it doesn't look right, I did something wrong and do it again differently.

For this one, I increased the contrast using Levels, toyed around with saturation in the blue, yellow and master channels, and used a bit of the burn tool set for exposure of 8%. After all of that, I ran it through NeatImage to clean up the noise, and decided that I didn't like the way the clouds were so burned out. So, I clone-stamped them out (and now thay look like cartoon clouds, but if you actually take the time...)

And, that's about it. The more you play, the more you learn, so keep up the good work.
