Step 23
I use some adjustment layers which are set on the top ( non-Clipping Mask) to change color of picture.
Selective Color:

Color Balance:

Step 24
To increase the darkness for sky, make a new layer on the top. Use soft brush with color #56707d painting on two edges of sky and put the mode as Multipy 100%:

Step 25
In final step I use a Levels layer to increase contrast for whole picture, especially the light. Go to Layer-New adjustment layer-Levels, decrease the midtones but increase the shadows and highlights:

Use soft brush on Levels layer mask to clear the contrast of sky and on the land:
