Thanks for the compliment. Here's a quick and dirty job,so may not be perfect as i wanted to show you an example. But your picture is absolutely beautiful for this, you've contained the DR within, but given a little processing -it will really really snap. If you want this removed let me know.

You have a very good eye, keep it up

Maybe need to lower the luminosity of the clouds. Looks over-exposed.

I actually wanted to add diffuse glow to the clouds when i dodged it for the more surreal look-the over exposure was intended, but already uploaded, so left it at there.

Yup, i didn't touch saturation at all for this one in photoshop. That's how much potential i can see from the scene. Like what silver.wolf said, windows xp wallpaper

I'm no expert here, did a google and found this.
It should give u a good idea of what it is but as usual there are way too many methods to acheive this.
