Did you attach the correct photo, EXIF reports K3 with HD PENTAX-DA 55-300mm F4-5.8 ED WR?

Anyway here's my attempt, quite a difficult one this being so flat grey toned. So I increased exposure, highlights, Whites and Blacks. Slight sharpen and Noise reduction, graduated filter on sky top left, a wee crop and added a split tone.

What do you think?

Hey it does look more interesting now! I was just trying to go for a dull look since all my photos tend to be high contrast and high sharpness. And my bad, I had both cameras on that trip so I mixed up their pictures lol

Another one, for sure 645Z this time!

Ok, changed a lot of things here... reset wb and increased nearly everything else in varying amounts.

Very nice editing there. Makes everything pop out and colors are well balanced!

Crazyfrog- I would suggest looking at the work of some of the better landscape pros to get some inspiration. Maybe Tom Till or David Muench.
