Thank you, Sam. The information is very helpful. I'm guessing that the post processing blue graduated filter gave the photos the beautiful color that they have.

Thanks Mandrake. Thanks Deensani .
These shots were taken from “The Great ocean road”, Victoria, Australia. I used Nikon D5000 and a polarised filter.
During post processing I added a blue graduated filter and adjusted fill light, Contrast, Clarity, Hue Saturation, and Luminance.

Beautiful shots! Where were they taken?

I'd also be interested in what CS5 post-processing techniques and in camera Nikon picture controls you used to get the colors so vivid, if you remember.

Mandrake.
