Happened to see this early, so here's my attempt. I glommed onto the word "atmospheric." Played around with recapturing some highlights, but then decided to embrace the blown out area. Color also was looked at, but in the end, B/W and crop were the main "tools" used. Levels, curves, some cloning of sensor spots...

I'm not all that great at the post processing part of photography. But, I thought I would take a try at this one. So here is my entry.

A bit of a meander through the various Nik tools......

Ok. Sorry, I'm a bit late with this. Thanks everyone for some good entries. I had played around with this image previously & ended up doing a bit of a grainy B&W print which looks great. However, on this occasion I'm going to have to give this one to Grimmus. He has handled the muted colour tones in this image really well. Runner up is jheu02.

So, it's over to you Grimmus...

Thank you very much for the nod @rpjallan! Not sure I could repeat whatever it was I did. Will get #451 up shortly

OK folks, #451 is up and ready to go. Antipodean flavour again.
