Stunning image. Gonna pic a nit/spit a hair with you though. To me color _correction_ means setting white and black points neutral so that all colors fall in line representing them accurately. Color _adjustment_ on the other hand is subjective and what I think you probably performed and would be more accurately descriptive of your process. Color correction would likely not have rendered such a spectacular photo. Good work!
Thanks Russ. I used to do more white/black point 'corrections'. But I observed that many images do not have any areas of true black or white, and they shouldn't be forced into it. So, making the darkest point black (or white, white) gave me an unnatural look that simply didn't represent the scene properly (or how I wanted to present it). After decades of doing this, I still try that method, and sometimes it works well. Each image is unique in what it tells me to do. I work the curves/levels layers to achieve the right contrast and don't worry about the extremes. YMMV! BTW, I may have used the terms correction and adjustment interchangeably. To me it's all the same.
