I wasn't going to enter this challenge, but after racking my brain for ideas for the batteries challenge, I came up empty. So on the final day of this challenge, I finally started to think about ideas, and this is the best I could come up with. We'll see what this attitude results in.
This is taken at a spot which I have taken a number of photos. Most notably a night time shot that I'm very proud of. I actually took three bracketed exposures, with every intent to HDR the scene, but then I realized it was a basic editing challenge, so that was out.
Post Processing:
* Crop
* White Balance
* Recovery
* Black Point
* Highlights
* Topaz DeNoise
* Topaz Adjust
* Topaz Detail
* S-curve
* Export to TIFF
* Resize to 800px
* Sharpen Edges
* Save as JPEG
P.S. Here is the HDR version, which I actually like quite a bit better.

Nice image, would have been great if you had taken a few steps back or zoomed out a bit, I feel like Im too cramped in the shot, more sky would have really scored high. well done though nice shot.
