Shot in RAW. Processed in CS2. Dodged and burned the sky a little as well as the tree. Shadow/Highlight adjust. Saturuation adjust on the ground and the sky. Selective color adjustments to make the clouds whiter.

Thanks for all the comments everyone. I'm still trying to find my way in post processing. I'm sure some stronger post processors could have done much better with this pic than I did. I don't understand what "road" some of you were talking about. The picture is completely level, it's just the way the landscape flows that far away from the camera.
I'm seeing a lot of noise/artifacts, perhaps from compression??? also, along the top of the mountains, it is noticeable where your selection was and this is distrating. Otherwise, fairly nice landscape.
i bet the grain was added on purpose so the surrealism title goes with it, right ?, nice photo ... i just wonder what if you moved more to the right and take the photo vertically to the road so the road is parallel with the mountains in the background and the tree is in rule of thirds ?
This appears pixelated (perhaps due to over sharpening?) and I don't know if it's burning or what, but the grey stuff over parts of the clouds and mountains looks terrible.
