From RAW, increased BLACKS, countered with FILL LIGHT, added RECOVERY.
In PS, adjusted LEVELS, used a recorded ACTION using UNSHARP MASK. Increased VIBRANCE and SATURATION, then brightened the SHADOWS a bit. Sized, Bordered (another recorded ACTION), and saved.

Something always has to gum up the works. I had to clone out an annoying power line that literally cut the photo in half, left to right.
I predict 5.85. Of course, that's based on how much I like it! :)
