wow !! Thanks for the votes and the excellent score. Thoroughly delighted.
I guess there were a lot of voters who were trying to figure out if this was done with advanced editing.

Well it was done per the Basic rules. 4 important steps I did :
1. retrieved as much data when opening with Raw converter (shot in raw)
2. In CS3 , retreived details in the shadow areas using Shadow / Highlights
3. Used Topaz Adjust to adjust the overall exposure , details , contrast & saturation.
4. Finetuned again using Selective color focusing on the Black, Neutral, White channels

I would like to thank my wife for accompanying me, so far she has been my lucky star !!! Two outings with her has resulted in a Blue & 6th
