OK, lots of work done on this one.

PHOTOMATIX: 6 RAW files combined to one HDR file. Then, tone mapped and saved as a TIFF.

PHOTOSHOP: Lens correction to straighten columns. Duped layer, then applied a high pass filter. Layer set to overlay and a mask used to fine tune layer. Selective color adjustment layer used to lighten trees and structure and darken water and sky. Levels adjustment layer used to darken shadows a bit. Black and white adjustment layer used to darken water and sky and eliminate color. A texture layer was added and the blending properties tweeked allow the light structure to bleed through. A sepia color layer set to Soft Light blending mode and reduced to 21% finalizes the look.
