My usual process is to shoot in RAW and initially use Adobe Camera Raw.

Highlights were reduced via slider, and the exposure was reduced from the initial image, which was exposed for the sky and left a lot of the image underexposed initially.
In PS I adjusted the white balance, and masked out the foreground and reduced the exposure to essentially remove all foreground details and make it a kind of silhouette effect. I then used a bit of luminosity masking to get the differing tones of blue in the different areas.
