Photoshop: I added a curve to darken the sky; darkened the water using B&W adjustment layer in luminosity mode; raised the shadows with a curve, burned the darker areas in the clouds; added an S-curve for global contrast; dodged the birds; cropped the image. On1 Photo Raw: dynamic contrast; subtle vignette.

Initially, I decided to go to a square format, and used the cropping tool in PSE15. Then, in Color Efex, I slightly reduced the predominance of blue and used the curves and levels filter to add a bit of green to the highlights. Tonal adjustments - predominantly output reductions on both ends - were made in PSE15. Finally, I used the NIK output sharpener.1495329_3e12a71587b09ae109db7b44e5986a37.thumb.jpg.f005d63231b887ccf92be212b3e7b65b.jpg
