Curves for the colour. Big dose of USM on 15/60 for local contrast. Curves again for global contrast. Levels- move middle one left and left one right. Increase saturation by about 15%. Saturate red channel only by about 30% and yellow channel 15% and blue channel 20% to make it look a bit purple, then raise contrast a tiny bit... not too much because then the colours would blow out.
Big USM again of 12/20 then a final sharpen of 55/.5.
Easy peasy.
If you've ever been to Blackpool you've probably seen this... you can't miss a beach. The town itself is disgusting, but it has this that stretches for miles in either direction. My nan has a place right across from the sea and we were staying there for a night and this sunset was too good to miss... i do wish the clouds could have been a bit more symmetrical and impressive but hey, next time :)
