Changing the blues in the sky (basically I adjusted the blu curve in

a curves adjustment layer, and made it to a steep S-curve). Then I

made a red-to-grey gradient from the top right corner, and blended

it in with a brush.
Then I also changed the colour settings for the other layers. In

general I tried to lighten up the lady and horse, and darkening the

rest - and also adding warm color.
