mutilply the blue channel by 1.5x, increase the saturation of blue by 50, hue 5, lightness -20.
*but do watch out for other areas of blue eg. the man in blue shirt.

You may wanna to try using Channels or change your image from RGB to LABS, done your editing then convert back to RBG.
Hope that's help

use select/color range. then use lasso +magic to select the trees area, and then a gradient after that use channel mixer(blues), add extra saturation

I tried something like that on it, didnt really have that significant an effect, maybe i just did it wrong but the other gradient method looked much better.
find it difficult to pp this photo. as usual jpeg file will have a high level of color noise from pp.
this is my best to give a rich bright sky blue which some people may like but i personally does not like. i find that light blue and green (whether dark or light or limey green) all makes the color temperature too moderate and bland, lacks in the mood and color contrast ......
if you can avoid, avoid those bad days. i find that shooting is not just all about equipments, however neither is it all about the photographer. no matter how xu chun mei look, no amt of gd photographic skills is going to make xu chun mei look like xu ruo xuan.
first of all, the topic must be of interest. that constitutes various things such as the meaning of the subject, the aesthetic of the subject and the composition, space & line. you must have someone who looks at least pleasant to make a good model.
lighting is like a facial expression. the same face looks different when it gives a different expression. it can either gives a bland feeling or evokes a feeling. and i find that good days give me a lot of good photo, and bad days give me a lot of work to do on pp and some cannot be salvaged if the details are too much in shadow or already blown by the highlights.
coming to shooting gd scenaries is abt gd luck or gd preparation/anticipation/waiting/planning.
i guess most singaporeans who dun work for national geographics dun find that kind of time to wait for a week for a gd sunset on a building or a river. so make do with what you come across and dun feel too bad if you can't have the best photos out of the majestic view you have in harsh lighting or difficult lighting and just thank god whenever the kelvins are right.
of cos, if you are serious in getting your photos in the best viewable state to you fellow mates, do consider joining in the raw format at a higher megapixel rate. tossing a bad jpeg file around to get the best effects can be very frustrating and helpless..... that's when i'm doing my own jpeg files from my old pns....and i know it very well.....
my steps are fairly haphazard, so i doubt it is of any useful knowledge to anyone

create new layer > photo filter > choose color or preset filter ex. deep blue> slide density to your hearts content> uncheck preserve luminosity> check preview> click ok> pick your gradient tool> click & drag to point where you want to start & end your gradient> click your brush tool to brush off the image where you dont want your blue filter over those trees

Use Selective Colours from your PSCS adjustment tools.
Simply increase the saturational level of the colour you're focusing on.
Simple, Easy, Beautiful.
Try to work it on a dubbed layer, den decrease the opacity to fuse the colours correctly, it'll help retaining the original resolution of your original image.
I'm not the best out here, but this is what I do, that work
