After and Before - Editing 7.1.12

Had a look back and was amazed at the difference that Editing had made to this photo - thought I would post this so others might benefit from the fluke.
I can't remember all I did, but I certainly tried to straighten it a little, upped the contrast, highlights, saturated it a little, and added a touch of HDR which seemed to make the most difference. It even seems in better focus but I didn't do anything to that - it's the more marked contrast I guess.
I've listed it as 'before and after.... I'm changing it now to 'After and Before'.....!! doh.....

The two things that stand out for me is how you have managed to bring out that gorgeous blue colour in the windows and the texture of the stone in the tower. Great editing!
