Yeah, create a new layer (or two) and process each layer for the property
you wish it to have.  IE: layer for the sky to darken it, layer for the
distant mountains to bump contrast & the layer for the foreground to keep it
as you want it.  Then selectively erase the layers where needed.

powerful and ifffff I am to become a more powerful user of PS I will  
need to learn more in these aspects
