Yes, it was as cold as it looks, but quite pleasant to be out photographing.

Nice shot.
Did you use any plugins to achieve this?

Hi, JR. Thank you for the nice compliment.
To answer your question, essentially no I didn't rely on plugins for anything but a minor bit of vignetting as a final step. Opened the file in ACR, cropped for final print size, adjusted for lens correction and exposure curves based on my lens/camera and metering method, then did minor adjustments for exposure, contrast, shadows, highlights, etc.
In PS, I applied a WB I programmed as an action, then used Image>Adjustment>Black and White. Did some burning and dodging, applied a high pass filter for sharpening, and finally did a bit of vignetting using NIK Color Efex Pro. I hope this answers your question completely.
