Sorry it's taken me so long to post a reply I only use the site occasionally.

The PP on this was largely contrast and a bit of saturation. The colors are a result of a 20-30% increase in saturation and a bit of vibrancy. I didn't layer, mask or even dodge/burn this photo.

The main reason I did so little is because I had no idea how to do those things on my software prior to posting this shot ;-)
