Excellent conversion. I was interested in your PP details. I often take the Topaz road to fine tuning monos. This shot has lots of power and the detail - notably the tree - are beautiful.
Here follows flow-chart of this reworked file. Photoshop CS5-File Open-I opened the original HDR coloured file. Then Filter-Topaz labs and then TOPAZ BW Effects 2.
Click on the flag of Traditional Collection and choose WARM TONE III (or the effect you like).
On the right of the screen and photo live 4 sections. Over lives the section of filters: I choosed ORANGE.
Section 1-Conversion
-Basic exposure(I worked on Contrast, Brightness, Boost BWs….I suggest you to stay as close as possible at values that software shows you…anycase drag sliders at your own liking to get the effect you are looking for).
-Adaptative regions…I worked choosing 5 regions(I’m not talking about local adjustments).
Section 2 and 3) NO creative effects and no local adjustments
Section 4-Finishing touches. I worked on “silver and paper tone” and “edge exposure” to fix darkest bottom right/left corners.
Hope it is useful for you....I sent you a private msg.

A magnificent landscape Giulio. Full of grandeur and drama. The subtle toning suits the image so well.
.. couldn't put it better way
