err...i'm not pro lah! there are real pros in CS!
i did 3 steps with ur pic.. (using Irfanview)
1. convert pic to "negative"
2. decrease gamma to 0.35
5. increase contrast to 50

that's it! simple, right? u can experiment to play ard with swapping colours even, to see which effect u like best!

love the colours, esp of the rocks. this is a tough shot to meter as a few of the small leaves are overexposed. one way is to meter for the highlights (spot-meter the most brightly lit leaf) and let the darkly coloured rocks be slightly underexposed.

Wat's spot-meter? :dunno:

the built-in spot-meter in your camera is to determine the exposure of the photo based on a small circular area (spot) placed in the middle of the viewfinder. in this pic, the leaves are very bright compared to the rocks, you can switch the metering mode on the camera to "spot metering mode" and determine the exposure based on the brightly-lit leaf. this will enable u to capture the details of the leaf, while the rocks will appear underexposed and darker. u can read more about the spot-meter function in your camera's manual.

nice silhouettes of the poles as well as gradation of colours in the sky. the clump of trees at bottom right distracts a bit from the poles though.
