Levels,Curves,Brightness,Hue,Saturation,USM, and the orange lighting is all from the many ambient parking lot lights below the other side of the hill. No color alterations, and thats all folks!!

A handsome open environ composition with placement of the bench w/Rodin "The Thinker" posing figure & curious metallic shimmer from halogen/tungsten gives this an other worldly quality.
Wow, pretty cool shot you have here. As far as critique... really not much I would have personally done different. The composition is very good and I don't see a different angle I would have chosen. The exposure is wicked. I've done a lot of shots similar as a photojournalist so I know the lighting is true. The only thing I would have tried and I'm not sure if you did or not would have been noise reduction? Other than that I really can't find anything that bothers me with this shot. Very nicely done.
incredible colours and lighting .. because of your title & that amazingly dramatic scene it makes me think that the decision is a momentous one .. excellent image .. :)
enigmatic.
With a square crop it could be a 70's album cover.
In fact, with a square crop placing the figure in the centre, you would then have the background trees descending in height from the left, and would cut away the distracting trees on either side. - just a thought. good luck
What a fascinating image! The perspective, with its rounded horizon and bright yellow trees, looks like it's from another planet, or an imagined place.
Among the overly-contrasty and false color images here, this one does stand out. I love the concept and composition. The contrast and colors work to enhance an otherworldly appearance to this image.
