How do you get your photos to look like this in Photoshop? Is the by bledning layers? Even when I up saturation, levels and contrast, my colors never POP like this.
I think more than the Photoshop, this image has got benefitted from Lighting and Composition. The soft-light alongwith the use of a wide-angle lens will make this kind of effects, in which the subject appears to Pop-out!
Well for starters form a serious relationship with the gradient map, color balance, hue/saturation and the channel mixer not to mention old reliable, curves. The gradient map especially is great at giving your darker tones and when set to luminosity will make the colors pop right off the bat.
However, with that said, Structor could have simply just used a good polarizer in his image but you can also get a rich looking sky using the tools I suggested.
I think he hasn't post processed it that much. Just some curves and levels and maybe a little hue/saturation. The thing that makes it look so beautiful is the Icelandic sunshine. You can't add that to a picture that doesn't have it.
