0:00 Intro
I wanted to create a warm, soft photo with dreamy glow and lots of details in the shadows. This was all done in Adobe Lightroom, while I used Photoshop to remove sensor spots and some light flares on the right side.

0:20 1. Basic Adjustments
I started by changing the profile to Adobe Standard to get a flat image to start with. I set the white balance to auto get good looking over all colors. Then, I raised the exposure and the shadows trying to get more visible details in the dark areas. I also increased the highlights and the contrast. For a sharp look, I added texture and clarity.

2:13 2. Local Adjustments
Due to the previous adjustments, there was some overexposure going on. I fixed that using a sky selection mask with which I simply dropped the highlights (and added some saturation for more colors). Next, I used a linear gradient to make the top part of the sky darker by dropping the exposure.

For the glow effect on the left side I used two differently sized radial gradients and increased the blacks to add the glow. Also, I added temperature for a warmer color and slightly dropped the exposure and highlights to prevent overexposure.

5:40 3. Color Grading
First, I dropped the orange and yellow hue slightly, as well as blue and purple to get a proper blue sky. Next, I dropped the yellow saturation and boosted the blue tones. For the split toning I added a very strong warm color to the highlights and the mid-tones while adding a cold color to the shadows.

10:09 4. Photoshop
To get rid of those light flares on the ride, I used a second image shot a bit earlier (without intense lights) and simply masked in the area to clean it up. Then, with the spot healing brush I removed the sensor spots.
