Definitely some HDR nastiness in there. A few nice shots, too.
But how
the hell did THIS:

get in there??? That's the worst "darken the sky in Photoshop" job
I've ever seen! My Intro to Photoshop students could do better
than
that!
You know, I don't think he messed with the sky much, but he
certainly
pissed about with yonder forest.
Looks to me like he shot HDR using a hard edge split ND filter in
front
of the lens to darken the sky.
No, I think that's a bad Photoshop selection job.
I agree. That's the look you get when using the wand to select an area
with irregular boundaries.
Believe me - I've
got a ton of them in my "to be graded" inbox at this very moment.
On further examination, though, I do think he brightened the
foreground rather than darkened the sky (though it could be a bit of
both).
I would guess both. The forest has that underexposed look one gets
with excessive dodging. Its a shame the post work is so bad, because I
think the concept has merit.
