Initially I did this when first learning photoshop by bending curves (when I used to play with those :->).  Since I have really learned to live within lightroom I basically used photomatix to create the HDR (note a little haloing in the trees I need to clean up in a future version), then used lightroom to desaturate (HSL color-select/drag-down) and then just finished with some basic sharpening/clarity adjustments.    I played with the hue/Noise reduction as well to try to remove any grunge/residue.    Hope that helps :->
