Workshop Note
I started with the velvia vision plugin to give the feel of an increased dynamic range. It lightens up the foreground, but does not touch the darker parts.

Then a gradual darkness filter over the clouds diagonally to make the cloud darkest to the left top.

Then some hue / saturation and lightness.

Then I used noise ninja to get rid of the noise in the clouds.

And last some unsharp masking:
USM 80%, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold;
Edit - fade to lighter, 100% opacity.
USM 80%, 0.3 pix radius, 0 treshold;
Edit - fade to darker, 100% opacity.

Hope you like it!!
