View attachment 232that image is very small, near impossible to tell what was used but more than likely enhancement of detail,shadow highlights exposure filter
oh man.a whole host of filters

just playing around, while looking at image.added a bit of color

There's no way to know, like iDad said the image is too small but it doesn't look terribly complicated.
At least 3 layers, the team, a dramatic sky and some grass along with the gradient tool.

I'm sure it's more complicated than that, a larger image would help.

It's difficult to say without seeing the original image.

The overall look and feel was created by the lighting from the original shot, not filters. The grass is from a macro shot with a vector matte applied, duplicated and set into layers with a faint bit of plain ol' 10% opacity paintbrush between each layer. Filters (with the exception of high-pass and perhaps some blur) should be avoided at all cost to avoid the cheese factor. The layers were all color graded with levels adjustment layers with a 5% layer of grain put on top of everything.
