1.
Add local contrast to the image:
Create a slection that excludes very dark tones and bright tones:
- use "Color Range" to select everything near black with
a Fuzzyness
of 80
- store this selection under "shadows"
- use "Color Range" to select everything near white with
a Fuzzyness of 160
- store this selection under "highlights"
- set the selection by "Image->Calculations" with: source "shadows" inverted,
source "highlights" inverted,
multiply
Use the resulting selection to create a duplicate layer called "
contrast" on top of the original image with its mask set to "reveal
selection"
Use Unsharp Mask on the "contrast" layer with the following settings:
- Amount 50%, Radius 128, Threshod 0
Flatten the image.
2. Boost the colors: Image->Adjustments->Hue/Saturation
- Saturation + 33%
3. Make the sky more vibrant: Image->Adjustments->Selective Color
- Colors "Blues", Cyan + 100%, Magenta + 50%, Absolute

1.
Convert to Lab
2. Curve S-shape-like in (L) darkening most of the three quarter tones
and shadows, almost linear but steep (a), same kind of curve in (b)
but steepening only the yellow side.
3. Curve in an adjustment layer (targeted to lights in blending options)
that adds blue and little magenta and darken the sky.
4. merged layers, duplicate background and apply the inverse of (a)
to (L) in overlay mode, with a gradient in alpha channel that hide
the effect on the upper side (sky and part of the grass), to make the
green more contrasted.
5. Inverse Unsharp Mask to (L), something around 15 amount, 50 radius;
dust and scratches in (a), to remove some color noise.
6. Flatten, convert to sRGB, resample and apply some smart sharpen.
