° Shadows&Highlights.

° Curves.

° Color balance towards red and yellow to emphasize the golden hour colours.

° Extra saturation on yellow and red.

° Less lightness on the blues.

° Manual dodging of the highlight and saturation sponging on the water.

° Noise reduction in the sky.

° High pass sharpening ( See here for description )

with the inverse mask of the previous step, to not sharpen the noisy sky.
