In the RAW: b/w, vignette, high contrast
After that: graduated neutral density in NIK-filters, and I added a slight blue color with glamour glow. Cloned some dust-spots and some weed, crop.
This photo (end-result) shows to me how you can make a potential "nice" photo a really good one with the right post-processing. I hope you guys think the same :P
