Mersad, thanks for the comment and the fix. I intentionally blued-up what wasn't orange foliage. It may well have been a bad decision, but it wasn't an unconscious one.
The sky was nothing much, due to the fog. It wasn't really blown out; the dynamic range was pretty low that day, and well within the camera's capabilities. It's just that there was nothing much there. I tried some fixes and didn't like them. Your fix is better than mine were.
